Scientific paper

We present a combined X-ray/HI-analysis of the ISM towards the Lockman hole. This sky region is considered as the "window to the distant universe" because of its absolute lowest HI column density on the whole sky. The Lockman hole appears to be not as transparent as the HI data suggest. We propose that about half of the ISM towards the Lockman hole is in form of ionized hydrogen rather than HI.
