Abstract

Soft X-ray background data from the ROSAT PSPC have been fitted by a model including emission from the local bubble, embedded hot gas within the disk, hot gas in the Galactic halo and extra-galactic emission, together with local and disk absorption. In all directions a halo component at 106.2 K (0.2 keV) is required for an acceptable fit. The halo emission measure shows spatial variability and the global trend suggests a disk-like planar rather than more extended spherical distribution. New values for the emission measure within the local bubble are derived.
