We present new high resolution (R>50,000) absorption measurements of the NaI doublet (5889 - 5895A) along 482 nearby sight-lines, in addition to 807 new measurements of the CaII K (3933A) absorption line. We have combined these new data with previously reported measurements to produce a catalog of absorptions towards a total of 1857 early-type stars located within 800pc of the Sun. Using these data we have determined the approximate 3-dimensional spatial distribution of neutral and partly ionized interstellar gasdensity within a distance-cube of 300pc from the Sun. All newly recorded spectra were analyzed by means of a multi-component line profile-fitting program, in most cases using simultaneous fits to the line doublets. Normalized absorption profiles were fitted by varying the velocity, doppler width and column density for all intervening interstellar clouds. The resulting total column densities were then used in conjunction with the Hipparcos distances of the target stars to construct inversion maps of the 3-D spatial density distribution of the NaI and CaII bearing gas. A plot of the equivalent width of NaI versus distance reveals a wall of neutral gas at ~80pc that can be associated with the boundary wall to the central rarefied Local Cavity region. In contrast, a similar plot for the equivalent width of CaII shows no sharply increasing absorption at 80pc, but instead we observe a slowly increasing value of CaII equivalent width with increasing sight-line distance sampled.
Comparing absorption from classic tracers of the diffuse interstellar medium at optical and radio wavelengths along the same sightlines
目的比较从漫射星际介质沿同一视线的射电和光学吸收线剖面获得的信息。方法我们比较了新的和现有的21 cm HI和3.4 mm HCO+剖面与光学示踪剂Ca II,NaI,和KI来自Tappe(2004)未发表的论文。结果与太阳丰度相比,光学追踪的原子都是严重亏损的,只有HI和HCO+的积分光学深度与E(B-V)有很好的相关性。HCO+是迄今为止运动学分布最有限的物种,其最西的线依次为KI、HI、NaI和CaII。CaII在柱密度和运动学上都有单独的行为,因为它对更宽范围的温暖气体进行采样。冷中性介质NaI,KI,HI和HCO+的示踪剂在统计上共享相同的运动学空间,而在丰度上几乎没有相同程度的相关性。N(NaI)和N(KI)是相关的,是HI和HCO+的综合光学深度,但光学和无线电示踪剂之间的丰度相关性没有看到。在唯一的方向与测量的CH+的配置文件,2公里/秒的速度之间的CH+和CH,通常被解释为冲击气体的迹象,模仿HI相对于HCO+的移位。CH和HCO+出现在两条视线上的比例N(CH)/N(HCO+)=14.6和21.1,光学测量的N(CH),与之前在无线电和亚毫米波长确定的平均值12相比。
