Possible Contributions of Supernova Remnants to the Soft X-ray Diffuse Background (0.1 - 1 keV)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
Almost all of the B band (0.10–0.19 keV) and C band (0.15–0.28 keV) X-rays probably originate in a hot region surrounding the Sun, which Cox and Anderson have modeled as a supernova remnant. This same region may account for a significant fraction of the M band (0.5–1 keV) X-rays if the nonequilibrium models of Cox and Anderson are applicable. A population of distant SNR similar to the local region, with center-to-center spacing of about 300 pc, could provide enough galactic M band emission to fill in the dip in the count rate in the galactic plane that would otherwise be present due to absorption of both the extra-galactic power law flux and any large-scale-height stellar (or galactic halo) emission.
