Warm-hot Intergalactic Medium

Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium is a diffuse, ionized plasma phase of the intergalactic medium, distinguished by its temperature range of $10^5$ to $10^7$ K and its role in hosting a significant fraction of the baryonic matter in the low-redshift universe, primarily detectable through soft X-ray and ultraviolet absorption lines.
