The angular resolution is approximately twice as good as that of our previous study.

18 High evaluation from the community In Autumn 2012 DIOS was nominated by HEAPA (High-Energy AstroPhysics Association) as the top rating mission of 6 other missions, and formally recommended to Science Council of Japan In Spring 2013 Science Council of Japanese Astrophysics subcommittee recommended 8 future projects to SCJ, nominating DIOS as the only X-ray program (cf. other 7 missions are SPICA, Solar-C, LiteBIRD, SKA, JEM-EUSO, South pole, CTA) In March 2014 Science Council of Japan Master plan of future large projects, nominated DIOS as the only X-ray program.

19 Message from Takaya Ohashi (PI) Ohashi (PI) ~ Bitter history ~ 2003 DIOS group started. First proposal with simulation by Yoshikawa+2003 Detectability of WHIM 2006 DIOS Working Group under space science committee 2007 EDGE proposed to ESA Cosmic Vision, 1 st M class mission rejected 2009 XENIA proposed to NASA Decadal Survey rejected 2010 ORIGIN proposed to ESA Cosmic Vision, 2 nd M class mission rejected DIOS is a long collaboration with US and European partners over 10 years. Even if Japanese community supports DIOS as the next small satellite, it is not clear if DIOS really come true, but your strong support will give us the power.

20 Summary Science:perform dark baryon survey and expand the X-ray spectroscopy science opened with ASTRO-H. The large f.o.v. (30-50 arcmin) and low BGD will enable us to detect faint extended emission from wide range of objects. New technologies of TES microcalorimeters and cooling system will be further improved through DIOS mission; a useful pathfinder to a future mission like ATHENA. International partners in U.S. and Europe have been critically important to realize a space mission with TES calorimeters. Recognition and support for DIOS in Japanese science community are becoming very strong. LTD16, 2015,

21 Temperature Search for Dark Baryons Numerical simulations indicate local baryons are mostly in the form of Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM: ~10 6 K). simulated baryon phases DIOS observable Emission lines like H-like and He-like triplets are simple, and spatial structure can be measured. Absorption lines through bright quasars and gamma-ray burst can break degeneracy bet. density n and the line of sight L, because emission ~ n 2 L absorption ~ nl High-resolution spectroscopy is necessary to separate out redshifted WHIM features from galactic foreground emission.
