Interstellar Cooling

Interstellar Cooling is a physical process in astrophysics wherein thermal energy is radiated away from the interstellar medium through electromagnetic emissions, primarily via atomic and molecular line radiation, thereby reducing the gas temperature and regulating star formation and cloud dynamics.
