The Distribution of Metallicities in the Local Galactic Interstellar Medium

The Distribution of Metallicities in the Local Galactic Interstellar Medium

In this investigation, we present an analysis of the metallicity distribution that pertains to neutral gas in the local Galactic interstellar medium (ISM). We derive relative ISM metallicities for a sample of 84 sight lines probing diffuse atomic and molecular gas within 4 kpc of the Sun. Our analys...
