We present maps of CIII λ 977, CIV λ 1550, and OVI λ 1032,1038 emission. These maps were obtained using observations over most of the sky using the SPEAR (FIMS) instrument, aboard the STSAT-1 satellite. These lines represent the dominant radiative cooling mechanisms for thin interstellar plasma of T=8x104, 1x105, and 3x105 K, respectively. We discuss the relationships between the intensities of these species and the implications of these relationships on our understanding of the Warm/Hot ISM and its distribution in the galaxy.
The SPEAR/FIMS is supported by NASA grant NAG5-5355 and flies on the STSAT-1 Mission, supported of the Korea Ministry of Science and Technology.
