The components that are produced are CNM - cold neutral medium, density ~ 40 cm-3 WNM - n ~ 0.5 cm-3, WIM - warm ionized medium, n ~ 0.25 cm-3 HIM - hot ionized medium, n ~ 1e-3 cm-3, calculation DOES NOT reproduce observed temperature of HIM - we get ~1e4K but observed is ~1e6 K. HIM is shock, not photo, ionized
