2. Some atomic physics u H I, O III, Fe X are spectra –Emitted by u H 0, O 2+, Fe 9+ –These are baryons u For absorption lines there is a mapping between these two –H I absorption is produced by H 0

3. Emission lines are ambiguous u H I emission is produced by –Recombination of H + –Impact excitation of H 0 u So H I lines trace H + or H 0, depending on circumstances u The H + region around a hot star produces H I emission u A hot star produces successive layers of H +, H 0, H 2

6. A non-equilibrium gas u Gas emitting spectrum has a very low density, exposed to a range of radiation fields and particles u Populations of levels, ionization, spectrum, determined by many micro-physical processes u Not characterized by a single temperature

7. Physical state of interstellar gas u Non-equilibrium microphysics –Te: heating & cooling –Ionization & chemistry u Grain physics –Heats gas, attenuates radiation field u Predict full spectrum u All done self-consistently –Few free parameters –Goal is no free parameters

9. Runaway O star H II regions u ~1/4 of O stars are runaways –Expelled from close binary by explosion or instability u Pass by diffuse ISM and photoionize it u H II region is –Very faint –Very low density –Small magnetic field, B ~ 6  G u The H II region is an innocent bystander

31. Grains in H II regions u Grains survive in the warm H + layer u Were they destroyed, very strong Ca, Fe, and Al lines would be present –Kingdon&Ferland 1995, ApJ, 439, 793 u Grains very likely destroyed, or never formed, in hot H + bubble u Commonly cited claim that grains do not exist in warm H+ layer is due to wrong geometry –See BFM, 1991, ApJ, 374, 580, Section 4.5

33. The BFM Orion Model u The equation of state – how does the density vary with depth into the cloud? u Warm H + layer is hydrostatic u Starlight radiation pressure balancing gas pressure u Model stopped at H + - H 0 ionization front, where gas changes phase from warm H + to warm H 0
