abstract

We use the data of Wisconsin H$\alpha$ Mapper (WHAM) to test the hypothesis of whether the amplitudes and spectrum of density fluctuations measured by WHAM can be matched to the data obtained for interstellar scintillations and scattering. To do this, first of all, we adjusted the mean level of signal in the adjacent patches of the data. Then, assuming that the spectrum is Kolmogorov, we successfully matched the amplitudes of turbulence obtained from the WHAM data and the interstellar density fluctuations reported in the existing literature. As a result, we conclude that the existing data is consistent with the Kolmogorov cascade which spans from $10^6$ to $10^{17}$ $m$.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At z=8-10, the strongest JWST damped Lyα absorbers require neutral gas inside and around galaxies, and the NINJA models still underproduce them unless additional unresolved birth-cloud gas is invoked.
