Gas Cooling Processes

Gas Cooling Processes is a physical mechanism within the broader class of energy dissipation phenomena in interstellar media, distinguished by the emission of infrared and submillimeter radiation from atoms and molecules in photodissociated gas that results from far-ultraviolet radiation-induced excitation and subsequent radiative decay, thereby reducing the thermal energy of the region.
