The intergalactic medium can be divided in diverses zones:
-Hot IGM
-Warm-Hot IGM: It has a temperature (10^5 K)>T>(10^7 K)
-Warm IGM

I'm unable to find the temperatures of the Hot IGM and Warm IGM, and I would like to know them. In fact it seems that there's a lot of research about the Warm-Hot IGM, but little about the other two

One would think, it was Above and Below, the Bracketed Amount ...

But, that's Just a WAG.
