The Millennium Arecibo 21 Centimeter Absorption‐Line Survey. IV. Statistics of Magnetic Field, Column Density, and Turbulence
Open accessAbstract
We discuss observations of the magnetic field, column density, and turbulence in the cold neutral medium (CNM). The observed quantities are only indirectly related to the intrinsic astronomical ones. We relate the observed and intrinsic quantities by relating their univariate and bivariate probability distribution functions (pdf's). We find that observations of the line-of-sight component of a magnetic field do not constrain the pdf of the total field B tot very well but do constrain the median value of B tot . In the CNM, we find a well-defined median magnetic field 6.0 ± 1.8 μG. The CNM magnetic field dominates thermal motions. Turbulence and magnetism are in approximate equipartition. We find that the probability distribution of column density N ⊥ (H ) in the sheets closely follows N ⊥ (H ) -1 over a range of 2 orders of magnitude, 0.026 ≲ N ⊥ (H ) ≲ 2.6 × 10 20 cm -2 . The bivariate distributions are not well enough determined to constrain structural models of CNM sheets.

“We have in mind the McKee & Ostriker (1977) model, in which a supernova shock adiabatically compresses and heats the ambient gas; as the gas cools, it does so under roughly constant pressure so its density increases, it cools faster, and soon becomes the CNM.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
