19 Conclusions Two distinct OI-OII components: the CNMM and the WIMM. The CNMM is confined in the disk of our Galaxy and has: T CNMM 3 1 K, <Z> CNMM =.8 ±.2 Z, <b> CNMM = 28 ± 5 km s 1 The CNMM must be patchy and made up of > 22 clouds kpc 1, with D < 5 pc each. The WIMM has <T> WIMM = 3 ± 1 K and permeates the whole Galaxy. We find: <Z Halo > WIMM =.3 ±.2 Z, <b Halo > WIMM =48 ± 6 km s 1 <Z Disk > WIMM =.8 ±.1 Z, <b Disk > WIMM = 1 ± 1 km s 1 We estimate: M CNMM < M M WIMM ~ M (only 1% in the disk). OII Kβ from the WIMM invalidates OVII Kα WHIM detection at z=.3 8/25/15 "The Metal Enrichment of Diffuse Gas in the Universe" (Sexten, F. Nicastro) 19
