Scientific paper

The ion composition of rarefied interstellar gas cooling from about one million K to about 10,000 K is calculated. The time dependence of logarithmic relative ion densities is determined in an isobaric-cooling model and in a model with an initial adiabatic expansion. It is shown that so long as T is greater than 10,000 K, the N(C IV)/N(O VI) ion density ratio may be used to test the origin of nonstable behavior.
