Science with hot astrophysical plasmas

Urdampilleta, I.; Kaastra, J. S.; Mernier, F. +5 more

We present some recent highlights and prospects for the study of hot astrophysical plasmas. Hot plasmas can be studied primarily through their X-ray emission and absorption. Most astrophysical objects, from solar system objects to the largest scale structures of the Universe, contain hot gas. In general we can distinguish collisionally ionised gas…
