Abstract
Abstract42 ROSAT PSPC pointed observations in the Galactic plane (l ~ 4° – 26°) are mosaicked in order to study the spatial structure of the X-ray emitting gas in the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). Degree scale X-ray intensity variations are detected at the ±10% level in the ¼ keV band, which imply a likely influence from a clumpy boundary shell of the LHB in the observed ¼ keV band X-ray background. The possible origins of such a clumpy boundary structure of the LHB are discussed.
