the model in which cosmic-ray heating and cooling balance give two stable phases, cold dense clouds and warm intercloud gas, in pressure equilibrium.

In astrophysics, two-phase model of the interstellar medium refers to the model in which cosmic-ray heating and cooling balance give two stable phases, cold dense clouds and warm intercloud gas, in pressure equilibrium. This meaning comes from Field (1969) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
