Due to the high temperatures and intense radiation present, these atoms initially existed in an «ionized» state: The negatively charged electrons had been stripped from positively charged protons, leaving behind positive hydrogen ions (essentially, just protons).
The radiation was so intense that it ionized atoms in Earth's upper atmosphere for five minutes, disrupting some radio communications.
The intense radiation from an AGN can ionize the gas around it (called photoionization), and this may be one mechanism at work in MAMMOTH - 1.
The gauntlet Juno ran at Jupiter held many chances for catastrophe: The spacecraft might have been knocked out by intense magnetic fields (at that distance, 20 times stronger than Earth's), ionizing radiation (a total dose of 265 rads — more than enough to kill a human being), dust particles from Jupiter's rings (from which the main engine was completely unshielded) or loss of power if the solar arrays were unable to reorient to the sun.
The warmer dust component is spatially correlated well with the [O III] emission and hence likely to be associated with the highly - ionized gas locally heated by intense radiation from the two clusters.
