Gas and mm Dust emission François Boulanger et Guilaine Lagache (Institut d ’Astrophysique Spatiale, Orsay) • Tracing diffuse ISM components in te Solar Neighborhood and across the Galaxy with mm dust emission • mm dust properties across the HI/H2 transition
Gas Tracers • DiffuseH II : Pulsar dispersion measure • H I : 21 cm Line • Misses cold H I • H2: CO low J rotational lines • several caveats: optical thickness, CO photo-dissociation • Misses « diffuse » H2 (seen in absorption and in gamma rays) • Dust : H I and H2 • Extinction: clumping • Far-IR emission per dust mass is temperature dependent • mm dust emission: Matter Tracer • Galaxies and star forming cores (ground telescopes) <=> diffuse ISM • Dust emissivity: How constant across the HII/HI/Diffuse H2/CO transitions?
