ABSTRACT:The Monte Carlo simulation is employed to study the distribution of superbubbles and supernova remnants according to the chimney model of the
interstellar medium, taking into account the global spiral pattern in the
Galaxy.
The observabilities of superbubbles and hot gas within them by H I 21-cm and
diffuse X-ray emission are examined, showing expected observational
characteristics of H I supershells and an X-ray ridge.
The structure of interstellar
medium with many superbubbles concentrated in spiral arms, the so-called
chimney model, does offer a possible explanation to the various observed
structures of the interstellar medium.
