We discuss the different physical processes that are important to understand the thermal X-ray emission and absorption spectra of the diffuse gas in clusters of galaxies and the warm-hot intergalactic medium. The ionisation balance, line and continuum emission and absorption properties are reviewed and several practical examples are given that illustrate the most important diagnostic features in the X-ray spectra.

  1. Spatially resolved optical and mid-infrared spectroscopy of SDSS1335+0728: implications for the origin of the Ansky event

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Spatially resolved spectroscopy shows SDSS1335+0728 has a three-zone ionisation structure, optically thin dust, and sustained low-level nuclear activity for at least 1500 years, implying the Ansky event is a faint tra...

  2. DIffuse X-ray Explorer (DIXE): Sky Survey Strategy and Collimator Response Demodulation

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    DIXE proposes CSS-based survey strategies covering 72.5% of the sky with 26-68 ks exposures and shows via simulation that MCMC collimator demodulation yields 1° point-source localization and 3° extended-source resolution.
