Density slice of a uniform density sphere where a HII region expands from its centre. A central stellar object produces many ionising photons that heat the gas around it. Two media (hot and cold) are separated by a front shock that propagates inside the cold sphere, sweeping up the gas. A denser shell of material forms just next to the ionisation front.
