Modeling the Galactic ¾ keV X-ray Background

We have analyzed the ROSAT PSPC all-sky survey maps of the soft X-ray background (SXRB) in the 3/4 keV band. One approach was to study the large-scale distribution of the X-ray emission with a multipole analysis. Here a significant dipole toward the galactic center region was found. This is interpreted in terms of variation of distant X-ray emission, e.g. galactic halo. Also a smallscale structure analysis of the 3/4 keV X-ray sky has been performed and a new analytic fluctuation probability distribution has been derived. No significant excess over the expected extragalactic point source contribution has been found. Finally, X-ray colours have been used to investigate spectral variations of the SXRB.
