Matching
Match the four components of the interstellar medium (ISM) with theirrespective description. You may use the choices more than once.
Premises:
Highly ionized state
The coolest temperature
The part of the ISM that can only be detected with X-ray telescopes have has temperatures of 10 6 K or higher
A chaotic shape that is usually twisted, flattened, and tangled
The hot space of ISMs with temperatures of a few thousand K and a density of only 0.1 atom per cubic centimeter found between the cool H I clouds
Clouds of gas and dust with densities ranging from 100s-1000s particles per cubic centimeter, found deep inside the ISM, where it is protected from UV photons
ISM clouds of cool gas of only about 100 K and dust with densities ranging up to 100 atoms per cubic centimeter and observed only at infrared and radio wavelengths
Responses:
Intercloud medium
Molecular clouds
H I cloud
Coronal gas
