Two phases of the interstellar medium in nebulas around quasars
Description
It is shown that for the interstellar gas in nebulas surrounding quasars the condition of thermal instability is satisfied, and the gas must separate into two phases: cold (T ≅ 104/degree/K) dense clouds and a hot (T ≅ 108/degree/K) rarefied medium. The density, size, and mass of the clouds formed by the development of the thermal instability are estimated
