SILCC VII -- Gas kinematics and multiphase outflows of the simulated ISM at high gas surface densities

We present magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the star-forming multiphase interstellar medium (ISM) in stratified galactic patches with gas surface densities $\Sigma_\mathrm{gas} =$ 10, 30, 50, and 100 $\mathrm{M_\odot\,pc^{-2}}$. The SILCC project simulation framework accounts for non-equilibrium thermal and chemical processes in the warm and cold ISM. The sink-based star formation and feedback model includes stellar winds, hydrogen-ionising UV radiation, core-collapse supernovae, and cosmic ray (CR) injection and diffusion. The simulations follow the observed relation between $\Sigma_\mathrm{gas}$ and the star formation rate surface density $\Sigma_\mathrm{SFR}$. CRs qualitatively change the outflow phase structure. Without CRs, the outflows transition from a two-phase (warm and hot at 1 kpc) to a single-phase (hot at 2 kpc) structure. With CRs, the outflow always has three phases (cold, warm, and hot), dominated in mass by the warm phase. The impact of CRs on mass loading decreases for higher $\Sigma_\mathrm{gas}$ and the mass loading factors of the CR-supported outflows are of order unity independent of $\Sigma_\mathrm{SFR}$. Similar to observations, vertical velocity dispersions of the warm ionised medium (WIM) and the cold neutral medium (CNM) correlate with the star formation rate as $\sigma_\mathrm{z} \propto \Sigma_\mathrm{SFR}^a$, with $a \sim 0.20$. In the absence of stellar feedback, we find no correlation. The velocity dispersion of the WIM is a factor $\sim 2.2$ higher than that of the CNM, in agreement with local observations. For $\Sigma_\mathrm{SFR} \gtrsim 1.5 \times 10^{-2}\,\mathrm{M}_\odot\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{kpc}^{-2}$ the WIM motions become supersonic.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, submitted to MNRA

Ruthenium tetraoxide staining of polybutylene terephthalaat (PBT) and polyisobutylene-b-PBT block copolymers

A ruthenium tetroxide (RuO4) staining method has been evaluated for segmented polyisobutylene-b-polybutylene terephthalate (PIB-b-PBT). Solution cast films and melt pressed samples have been studied. For comparison PBT has also been studied. PBT and PIB-b-PBT could be stained with RuO4 at room temperature. The observed structures on the PBT and PIB-b-PBT films were spherulitic with lamellae. In some regions in the PIB-b-PBT films large scale phase separation was observed. In the melt pressed PIB-b-PBT samples the spherulitic and lamellar structures were less well developed. The PBT segments appeared to have crystallized out in bundles and the PIB phase was present as microspheres with diameters of 3-6 nm
