Scientific paper

I will present the current evidence of the WHIM in the X-rays, including preliminary results from our long Chandra observation of 'The Best WHIM Target in the Sky" (to be taken in April 2011).
During the second part of my talk, I will focus on the need for higher resolution and larger throughput X-ray spectrometers, and on the instrumental parameters that need to characterize this instrumentation, for us to be able to systematically detect and study the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium in the band in which the electronic transitions expected from this medium are most copiously present: the X-rays.
