particles' individual time-steps. The cooling takes place over the time span
given by the other conditions (e.g the Courant condition).
Finelly, the cooling module also provides a function to compute the temperature
of a given gas particle based on its density, internal energy, abundances and
the current redshift. This temperature is the one used to compute the cooling
rate from the tables and similarly to the cooling rates, they assume that the
gas is in collisional equilibrium with the background radiation. The
temperatures are, in particular, computed every time a snapshot is written and
they are listed for every gas particle:

Note that if one is running without cooling switched on at runtime, the
temperatures can be computed by passing the ``--temparature`` runtime flag (see
:ref:`cmdline-options`). Note that the tables then have to be available as in
the case with cooling switched on.
The cooling model is driven by a small number of parameter files in the
`EAGLECooling` section of the YAML file. These are the re-ionization parameters,
the path to the tables and optionally the modified abundances of `Ca` and `S` as

Over the course of the simulation, the gas particles record some information
about their evolution. These are updated for a given particle every time it is
active. The EAGLE tracers module is located in the directory
