Diffuse galactic X-rays from discrete sources.
Abstract
The galactic ridge is interpreted as a population of intrinsically weak X-ray sources, and calculations are presented of the predicted intensity as a function of scale height and radial gradient. Observations of diffuse galactic X-radiation above 1 keV impose severe constraints on discrete-source interpretations of the galactic-plane excess observed at 0.25 keV.
