A Non-Equilibrium Ionization Model of the Local and Loop I Bubbles - Tracing the Ovi Distribution

Abstract

We present the first to date three-dimensional high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation tracing the non-equilibrium ionization evolution (using the Eborae Atomic and Molecular Plasma Emission Code - E(A+M)PEC) of the Local Bubble and Loop I superbubbles embedded in a turbulent supernova-driven interstellar medium.
