Panel discussion - Phases of the interstellar mediumThis article summarizes the panel discussion on 'Phases of the Interstellar Medium'. While the 3-phase model has had many successes, several recent observations disagree with its predictions. The major unresolved issue is whether the model can be 'fixed' by tinkering with cloud geometries and supernova rates and by including a galactic fountain. The Milky Way supernova rate may have been overestimated, many supernovae may be less than 10 to the 51st ergs, and modelers have probably neglected important physics in mass transport, cloud formation and halo input.
