| Abstract: |
The power spectrum of HΙ intensity fluctuation of the interstellar medium carries information of the turbulence dynamics therein. We present a method to estimate the power spectrum of HΙ intensity fluctuation using radio interferometric observations. The method involves correlating the visibilities in the u−v plane at different baselines. This method is particularly use full for evaluating the power spectrum for the faint dwarf galaxies. We apply this method to 3 spiral and 5 dwarf galaxies. The measured power spectrum is seem to follow a power law PHΙ(U) = AUα, suggesting turbulence to be operational. Further, depending on the slope of the power spectrum, we expect the presence of 2D and 3D turbulence in those galaxies. |
