Abstract

In this paper we present a new look at the distribution of emission responsible for the soft X-ray diffuse background (SXRB) using ROSAT all-sky survey data. This is prompted by the demonstration of the existence of extensive 1/4 keV emission in the Galactic halo that was not considered in the most successful previous model, in which the bulk of the observed 1/4 keV X-rays originated in a Local Hot Bubble (LHB) that surrounds the Sun. The basic distribution can be represented by two angularly varying Galactic components (the LHB and an X-ray halo) and an isotropic extragalactic component. In addition, there are the distinct enhancements of supernova remnants, superbubbles, and clusters of galaxies.
