Fig. 2.

Temperature (left column), hydrogen density (middle column), and ionization fraction ne−/nH (right column) of the gas predicted by CLOUDY as functions of the visual extinction AV and the X-ray radiation field scaling factor GX (top row), the turbulent velocity dispersion vtur (middle row), and the metallicity Z (bottom row). Nonvarying parameters are set to their standard values. In particular, the total pressure of the gas is set to 106.5 K cm−3, GX = 10 (for middle and bottom rows), vtur = 10 km s−1 (for top and bottom rows), and Z = Z⊙ (for top and middle rows). The black curves correspond to isocontours. The transition from ionized to atomic phase and that from atomic to molecular are defined by ne−/nH0 = 1 and nH0/nH2 = 1, respectively, indicated with a blue curve. The blue I, A, and M identify the different gas phases: ionized, atomic, and molecular, respectively.
