Future instrumentation for the study of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium
arXiv:0801.1064 · doi:10.1007/s11214-008-9323-6
Abstract
We briefly review capabilities and requirements for future instrumentation in UV- and X-ray astronomy that can contribute to advancing our understanding of the diffuse, highly ionised intergalactic medium.
