Extented Regions of Diffuse Soft X-Ray Emission
Abstract
Extended regions of diffuse soft X-ray emission in the C-band (0.1-0.5 keV) and M-band (0.5-1.5 keV) were detected in a soft X-ray survey of the southern galactic hemisphere. Three extended regions are approximately coincident with broad regions of very low neutral hydrogen column density. Emission from a few million degree hot plasma is required to explain the excess soft X-ray emission from these regions.
