Physical Processes in the Interstellar Medium
Open accessAbstract
Lyman Spitzer Jr 1978 Chichester: John Wiley xvii + 318 pp price £11.25 This is a completely rewritten version of Professor Spitzer's earlier text Diffuse Matter in Space , and the result is splendidly authoritative and readable. As the change of title indicates, the emphasis of the book has been somewhat altered; there is a fuller description of basic physical processes, while the updated observational data have been presented more concisely.

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.
