TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new maps of the soft X-ray background from the ROSAT all-sky survey, which represent a significant improvement over the previous version in that position resolution of the PSPC has been used to improve the angular resolution from 2? to 12' and the contributions of point sources have been removed to a uniform source flux level over most of the sky.

TL;DR: In this paper, Parkes telescope observations of neutral hydrogen (Hi) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) were combined with an Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) aperture synthesis mosaic to obtain a set of images sensitive to all angular (spatial) scales between 98 arcsec (30 pc) and 4° (4 kpc).

TL;DR: In this article, images and the radial profiles of the temperature, abundance, and brightness for 70 clusters of galaxies observed by XMM-Newton are presented along with a detailed discussion of the data reduction and analysis methods, including background modeling, which were used in the processing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of pulse-height bands are recommended for analyzing extended structure and the use of detector efficiency maps for proper flat-fielding of images are discussed and demonstrated using IDL routines for implementing these data reduction procedures.

TL;DR: In this article, a new look at the distribution of emission responsible for the soft X-ray diffuse background (SXRB) using ROSAT all-sky survey data was presented.
