  1. A short history I grew up in Brooklyn, NY Carleton

    College (2007-2011) University of Wisconsin- Madison (2011-2017) Baltimore (2017-present) NRAO (Summer 2010)
  2. “Galactic Science with the SKA” (Lorentz Center, 2014) ISM =

    complicated Tumlinson et al. 2017 Cold Neutral Medium (CNM): 20 < T< 500 K Warm Neutral Medium (WNM): 2000 < T< 5000 K
  3. How is mass distributed between neutral gas phases? Measure HI

    properties with 21cm absorption and emission HI Cloud Flat spectrum background radio continuum source
  4. How is mass distributed between neutral gas phases? Measure HI

    properties with 21cm absorption and emission HI Cloud Sensitivity, calibration matters! Murray et al.: EVLA Memos 171, 176, 197 Heiles & Troland 2003 Flat spectrum background radio continuum source Murray et al. 2018b Optical depth
  5. How is mass distributed between neutral gas phases? Measure HI

    properties with 21cm absorption and emission HI Cloud Brightness Temperature Optical Depth Murray et al. 2018b 0 270 180 90 45 0 -45 0 21-SPONGE
  6. The WNM is unexpectedly “warm” Murray et al. 2014 How

    is mass distributed between neutral gas phases? 21-SPONGE
  7. The WNM is unexpectedly “warm” Murray et al. 2014 How

    is mass distributed between neutral gas phases? 21-SPONGE There is a significant amount of thermally unstable HI in the local ISM 52% 20% 28% WNM UNM CNM Murray et al. 2018b
  8. Planck Collaboration et al. (2011), 536, A19 ``Dark” gas? How

    is mass distributed between neutral gas phases? “Total gas” = HI + CO
  9. Planck Collaboration et al. (2011), 536, A19 ``Dark” gas? How

    is mass distributed between neutral gas phases? “Total gas” = HI + CO Optically-thick HI cannot solely account for ``dark” gas ``Dark” correction assuming excess dust = HI (Fukui et al. 2015) ``Dark” correction measured by 21cm absorption Murray, Peek et al. 2018
