Scientific paper

We investigate the absorption of soft X-rays in the spectra of background quasars by the intervening intergalactic medium using a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. Such absorption, if detected, could reveal the presence of a "warm-hot" phase of the intergalactic medium with temperature of a few hundred eV. We study the feasibility of observing this "X-ray forest" with current and future X-ray telescopes, and also discuss the physical properties of the absorbing material in the LCDM model.
