We find that the X-ray filament consists of five spatially resolved X-ray knots embedded in a continuous diffuse bridge. The spectrum of each knot is well fitted by a thermal model with temperatures ranging from 0.3-0.7 keV and subsolar elemental abundances. In four of the five knots, non-thermal models are a poor fit to the spectra, conclusively ruling out synchrotron or IC/CMB mechanisms for their emission.
