Interstellar Gas Cooling

Interstellar Gas Cooling is a physical process in astrophysics whereby thermal energy is radiated away from low-density gas in the diffuse interstellar medium through atomic and molecular line emissions, thereby reducing the gas temperature and influencing the medium’s thermal balance and dynamical evolution.
