Spectral structure of the diffuse X-ray sky

Abstract

A description of diffuse celestial X-ray flux is drawn from data taken by rocket borne detectors. It was concluded that the diffuse flux is intra- and extra-galactic in origin and is caused by Compton scattering of .052 rad black body photons of relativistic electrons leaking out of the galaxies.
