Astrophysics and Space Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In the context of a review of work on the global structure of the interstellar medium, supernova remnant evolution, flows in multiphase media, cosmic ray moderation of flows, theories of the Galactic halo gas, and the nature of the local superbubble are considered. Speculations about the nature of a one parameter fully self-consistent model of the interstellar medium-supernova-radiation and cosmic ray background system are offered.
