A High Spectral Resolution Observation of the Soft X‐Ray Diffuse Background with Thermal Detectors

A High Spectral Resolution Observation of the Soft X‐Ray Diffuse Background with Thermal Detectors

A high spectral resolution observation of the diffuse X-ray background in the 60-1000 eV energy range has been made using an array of 36 1 mm2 microcalorimeters flown on a sounding rocket. Detector energy resolution ranged from 5 to 12 eV FWHM, and a composite spectrum of ~1 sr of …
