Scientific paper

I will first briefly review the current UV and X-ray evidence for the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM), and will then discuss future prospects for the study of the missing baryons and the heating and enrichment history of the Universe (feedback), with the International X-Ray Observatory (IXO). I will show detailed WHIM spectral simulations with the IXO dispersive and non-dispersive spectrometers and demonstrate the need for very high-resolution (R>3000) spectroscopy, for accurate WHIM studies.
