Fractal Structure in the Interstellar Medium of the Small Magellanic Cloud?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
We use the spatial power spectrum for a statistical study of HI in the SMC in order to probe the intrinsic topology of the ISM. A remarkable power-law fit to the spatial power spectrum was found, supporting an alternative ISM model having a fractal nature resulting from interstellar turbulence.
