Thermal instability efficiency, F(Λ), as a function of both gas temperature and gas metallicity. The amplitudes of thermal instabilities are computed as given in Sharma et al. (2012) and the values are indicated in the colour bar on the right side of the plot. When F(Λ) < 0, the gas is thermally unstable. The solid and dashed blue contours indicate where 2 − dlnΛ/dlnT = 0 and −3.0, respectively.
