Photoionization
• If an H atom absorbs an UV photon with E> Eion= 13.6 eV(λ< 912 Å), the electron becomes free (photoionization)
– H0 + hν →H++ e-
• The excess energy of the photon above the ionization potential is carried away by the photoelectron as kinetic energy
– Ekin(e) = hν –13.6 eV

• Ionized hydrogen is not confined to discrete regions, but at low surface-brightness is seen through the ISM.– 90% of the H+ in the Galaxy lies outside the classical HII regions,
making up the “Warm Ionized Medium (WIM).

Interferometry
The resolving power of a telescope depends on diameter D:
amin = 1.22 l/D
This holds true even
if not the entire
surface is filled out.

Collisional Ionization
• Shock wave
• If an H atom collides with an energetic electron of E> Eion= 13.6 eV (T=1.5x105K), it can be ionized (collisional ionization)
– H0 + e- →H++ e- + e-
= A thin layer where the ordered kinetic energy is dissipated into heat, so that the hydrodynamic variables such as density and pressure of the flow increases abruptly. The change is irreversible.

Shocks in Interstellar Space
– Shock occurs when an object moves supersonically. The sound speed in interstellar space is ~ 1 km/s, and there are diverse phenomena where the objects move much faster than this.
– HII regions (~ 10 km/s), stellar winds (10 to 1,000 km/s), SNRs (10 to 10,000 km/s), outflows, jets, …
