First Maps of the Soft X-Ray Diffuse Background from the ROSAT XRT/PSPC All-Sky Survey
Abstract
This paper presents an initial version of the diffuse background results from the ROSA T soft X-ray all-sky survey. These maps cover ∼98% of the sky in the ¼ keV, ¾ keV, and 1.5 keV bands, with ∼2° angular resolution and high sensitivity for low surface brightness extended features. The effects of non-X-ray contamination and X-rays of solar system origin have been eliminated to the greatest possible extent, but discrete X-ray sources have not been removed. The much improved angular resolution, statistical precision, and completeness of coverage of these maps reveal considerable structure over the entire 0.1-2.0 keV energy range that was not observed previously. The data agree well with previous all-sky surveys in terms of absolute normalization and zero point.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
