Absorption-line measurements in the ultraviolet (UV) and in the X-ray band currently represent the best method to study the WHIM at low redshifts. We here describe the physical properties of the WHIM and the concepts behind WHIM absorption line measurements of Hi and high ions such as Ovi, Ovii, and Oviii in the far-ultraviolet and X-ray band. We review results of recent WHIM absorption line studies carried out with UV and X-ray satellites such as FUSE, HST, Chandra, and XMM-Newton and discuss their implications for our knowledge of the WHIM.}, language = {en} } @misc{KaastraPaerelsDurretetal.2008, author = {Kaastra, Jelle S. and Paerels, Frits B.S. and Durret, Florence and Schindler, Sabine and Richter, Philipp}, title = {Thermal radiation processes}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {891}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43622}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-436220}, pages = {155 -- 190}, year = {2008}, abstract = {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 warm-hot intergalactic medium.
