Scientific paper

We report on a Chandra observation of the diffuse emission in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946. Diffuse emission was first detected in a ROSAT PSPC observation and interpreted as the hot component of the galaxy's ISM with a bremsstrahlung temperature of about 0.45 keV. The Chandra data follow the optical morphology of the galaxy. We present an extracted spectrum, an image, and a hardness ratio map. The research of EMS was supported by contract number NAS8-39073 to SAO.
