Properties of the diffuse X-ray background toward MBM20 with Suzaku.

GUPTA A., GALEAZZI M., KOUTROUMPA D., SMITH R. and LALLEMENT R.

Abstract (from CDS):

We used Suzaku observations of the molecular cloud MBM20 and a low neutral hydrogen column density region nearby to separate and characterize the foreground and background diffuse X-ray emission. A comparison with a previous observation of the same regions with XMM-Newton indicates a significant change in the foreground flux which is attributed to Solar Wind Charge eXchange (SWCX). The data have also been compared with previous results from similar "shadow" experiments and with a SWCX model to characterize its O VII and O VIII emission.
