Hot tenuous plasmas with temperatures in the range 1,000,000 to 3.10 to the 8th power K and densities of .000001 to .001 per cu cm are considered. The dominant radiation processes are thermal bremsstrahlung and collisional line excitation and all except the very hottest objects will have observable X-ray emissions lines. The most important unifying point is the angular scales involved. For the interstellar gas, structure ranging in size from about 10 ft to tens of degrees is expected.
