Galactic Worms

DOI

A catalog of candidates for the Galactic Worms that are possibly the walls surrounding the superbubbles is compiled; 118 isolated structures that appear both in HI and in IR (60 and 100{mu}m). 52 are possibly associated with HII regions. It is found that the 100-{mu}m emissivity increases systematically toward the Galactic interior, which is consistent with the increase of the general interstellar radiation field. The 100-{mu}m emissivity of the structures associated with the HII regions is larger than that of the structures without associated HII regions. The 60-100{mu}m ratio is large, 0.28+/-0.03, which may indicate that the grains associated with the atomic gas have a relatively large population of small grains. 35 structures appear in the 408MHz continuum. The IR and the radio continuum properties suggest that the 408MHz continuum emission in those structures is very likely thermal. The implications of these results on the ionization of gas far from the Galactic plane are discussed.
