Future instrumentation for the study of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium
F. B. S. Paerels, J. S. Kaastra, T. Ohashi +3
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 ioni…
Thermal radiation processes
J. S. Kaastra, F. B. S. Paerels, F. Durret +2
We discuss the different physical processes that are important to understand the thermal X-ray emission and absorption spectra of the diffuse gas in clusters of galaxies and the wa…
Equilibration processes in the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium
A. M. Bykov, F. B. S. Paerels, V. Petrosian
The Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) is thought to contribute about 40-50 % to the baryonic budget at the present evolution stage of the universe. The observed large scale stru…
FUV and X-ray absorption in the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium
P. Richter, F. B. S. Paerels, J. S. Kaastra
The Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) arises from shock-heated gas collapsing in large-scale filaments and probably harbours a substantial fraction of the baryons in the local U…
Clusters of galaxies: beyond the thermal view
J. S. Kaastra, A. M. Bykov, S. Schindler +13
We present the work of an international team at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern that worked together to review the current observational and theoretical st…
The Burst Spectra of EXO 0748-676 during a Long 2003 XMM-Newton Observation
J. Cottam, F. Paerels, M. Méndez +4
Gravitationally redshifted absorption lines from highly ionized iron have been previously identified in the burst spectra of the neutron star in EXO 0748-676. To repeat this detect…
