ROSAT deep surveys
Abstract
This review describes the most recent advances in the study of the extragalactic soft X-ray background and what we can learn about its constituents. A new logN-logS relation is presented, which reaches to the faintest X-ray fluxes and to the highest AGN surface densities ever achieved. The results are put into perspective of the higher energy X-ray background.
