With this grant Dr. Carl Heiles will continue a research program                which spans many subareas under the heading of interstellar                     matter.  The proposed research will be directed toward advancing                our understanding of the morphology of the interstellar neutral                 atomic hydrogen in the Galaxy, the nature of the interstellar                   magnetic field, and the cosmic abundance of deuterium.  Dr.                     Heiles' studies are carried out primarily through observations of               spectral lines of atoms and molecules at radio wavelengths.                                                                                                     The study of the morphology of atomic hydrogen in the Galaxy may                provide important information about those cosmic processes that                 shape the structure of the interstellar medium, such as supernova               explosions and stellar winds.  The basic magnetic field studies                 are significant for understanding such interstellar processes as                star formation, the support of gas in the Galactic halo, and the                heating of the interstellar medium via various types of                         hydromagnetic waves.  Finally, a good determination of the                      abundance of deuterium in a variety of astronomical sites is                    fundamental to cosmology.
