Extending the big power law in the sky with turbulence spectra from wisconsin hα mapper data.

CHEPURNOV A. and LAZARIAN A.

Abstract (from CDS):

We use the data of the Wisconsin Hα Mapper (WHAM) to test the hypothesis of whether the amplitudes and spectra 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 106 to 1017 m.
