AbstractAbstract
[en] Recent satellite detections of O VI absorption and soft X-ray emission leave little doubt that, locally, a substantial fraction of the volume of space between interstellar clouds must be filled with rarified and highly ionized gas at temperatures ranging from 2x105 to > 106 R. The physical state of this gas contrasts sharply with the theoretical picture of a largely neutral, warm, intercloud medium at approximately 104K. A review is given of the evidence, observational and theoretical, concerning how extensive hot gas at approximately 106K might be. (C.F.)
