Thermospheric balance gas temperatures as a function of metal-licity. The temperature from Eq. (26) - with the orange and green curves representing Mg and OI cooling - and the gas temperature at the sonic point from simulations (dots) are shown. The power-law fit of Eq. (27) is also shown as a dotted curve.
