Scientific paper

Diffuse X-ray emission above the plane of edge-on spiral galaxies has long been detected. The intensity distribution of that gas has been measured as well as crude measures of the temperature distribution.
Speculation centers on supernovae and star clusters as the sources for the energy that propels that material out of the plane. We describe here an exercise to investigate whether star clusters specifically impact this diffuse emission using several edge-on
spirals observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
