Popis: The energy transfer among the components in a gas determines its fate. Especially at low temperatures, inelastic collisions drive the cooling and the heating mechanisms. In the early Universe as well as in zero- or low- metallicity environments the major contribution comes from the collisions among atomic and molecular hydrogen, also in its deuterated version. The present work shows some updated calculations of the H$_2$ cooling function based on novel collisional data which explicitely take into account the reactive pathway at low temperatures. Deviations from previous calculations are discussed and a multivariate data analysis is performed to provide a fit depending on both the gas temperature and the density of the gas.
