On the structure of the interstellar atomic gas

Abstract

The interstellar atomic hydrogen is known to be a 2-phase medium in which turbul ence plays an important rôle. Here we present high resolution numerical simulations describing the gas from tens of parsec down to hundreds of AU. This high resolut ion allows to probe numerically, the small scale structures which naturally arises from the turbulence and the 2-phase physics.
