Interstellar Gas Heating

Interstellar Gas Heating is a physical process in astrophysics whereby energy from stellar radiation, cosmic rays, and turbulent motions is transferred to the diffuse interstellar medium, increasing the thermal energy of its gaseous components through photoionization, collisional excitation, and other microscopic interactions.
