Metal-line emission from the warm-hot intergalactic medium - I. Soft X-rays
Emission lines from metals offer one of the most promising ways to detect the elusive warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM; 105 T 107K), which is thought to contain a substantial fraction of the baryons in the low-redshift Universe. We present predictions for the soft X-ray line emission from the WHIM using a subset of cosmological simulations
