Cool Gas Clouds

Cool Gas Clouds is a construct in astrophysics referring to discrete, gravitationally unbound reservoirs of ionized or neutral interstellar medium observed within the circumgalactic medium, distinguished by their relatively low temperatures (typically 10^4 K or below) and high column densities of metal ions, which facilitate the study of gas accretion, feedback, and phase structure in galaxy halos.
