The spatial distribution and filling factor of the material responsible for the galactic soft X-ray emission are largely unknown due to the opacity of our galaxy to soft X-rays. We observed NGC3184, a face-on spiral galaxy similar to the Milky Way, with the CXO ACIS-S detector to characterize the X-ray diffuse emission of that galaxy, and to infer the possible distribution within our own galaxy. An image of the X-ray emission at energies below 1 keV shows enhanced surface brightness coincident with the galactic center and spiral arms. We compared the X-ray image with high-resolution images (V, R, narrow-band Hα, and narrow band continuum near Hα) acquired with the WIYN telescope to investigate the correlation between galactic structures and X-ray emission.
