$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=15cm,clip]{5652fig1.ps} \end{figure}$ Figure 1: Evolution of the EM(T) distributions of the cloud for ${\cal M}=30$ ( left panels) and ${\cal M}=50$ ( right panels) cases; upper panels show the result for models without thermal conduction and radiation (HY models), lower panels for models with both effects (RC models). The EM(T) distributions are sampled every $0.4~\tau_{\rm cc}$ since $t=0.2~\tau_{\rm cc}$ . The time sequence follows the color codes as reported in the color bar. The temperatures of the shocked ambient medium ( $T_{\rm psh}$ , see Table 2) and of the shocked cloud medium assuming negligible thermal conduction ( $T_{\rm scl}$ , see text) are marked with vertical dashed and dotted lines, respectively.

Contours are the mass density distribution in the (x,z) plane, corresponding to $\log \rho~ \mbox{(gm cm$^{-3}$ )} = -23.9$ , -23.7, -23.5, -23.3. Regions "1'' and "2'' in the third row originate from regions $a_{\rm H}$ and $g_{\rm H}$ , respectively, shown in Fig. 3.
