We analyzed the soft X-ray background (SXRB) source intensity distribution of the ¾ keV and ¼ keV photons by correlating the public ROSAT PSPC All-Sky Survey data with the new Leiden/Dwingeloo HI Survey. We found that the ¾ keV and ¼ keV distant background source intensity distribution can be modelled by an isothermal (T = 1.5.106 K) disk-like (scale length A 1 = 15 kpc) X-ray halo in addition to the radiation of the extragalactic X-ray background.
