9 for r > few R*, decline of radiative driving for r >~ 10 R*, pressure expansion but also photoionization heating & line cooling by gas law: with net result Dissipation of Structure So Energy balance key: need  T > 0 Two possibilities: suppress heating => cold clumps: T cold << T * suppress cooling => hot X-ray em: T hot >> T *  0  T  0  P  0  v  0
