Scientific paper

The recent data of Iwan et al. (1982) for diffuse X-rays in the range 2-60 keV have been analyzed from the standpoint of the anisotropy in the extragalactic flux. Attention is paid to the possibility that the observed anisotropy is due to Galactic effects, or that discrete extragalactic sources are responsible. It is concluded that there is no inconsistency with the well known anisotropy in the microwave background, although the X-ray data are still not sufficiently accurate to enable a statement of clear consistency to be made. It is certainly premature to claim evidence for a quadrupole anisotropy.
