The first limit, labeled as ``Cool``, is typically used to prevent
low-density high-metallicity particles to cool below the warm phase because
of over-cooling induced by the absence of metal diffusion. This limit plays
only a small role in practice. The second limit, labelled as ``Jeans``, is
only a small role in practice. The second limit, labeled as ``Jeans``, is

cannot be resolved by the coupled hydro+gravity solver. The two limits are
sketched on the following figure.
