Scientific paper

An autocorrelation function analysis of two sets of scan data taken with the Ginga Large Area Counter around the North Ecliptic and North Galactic poles respectively has been performed down to separations of 0.2 deg. No significant deviation from isotropy is found below 2 deg and the corresponding 95 percent confidence upper limits are used to constrain clustering of AGN in the framework of specific models for the origin of the X-ray background. A marginal negative signal is seen at 3 deg as in previous work, which if interpreted in terms of the presence of voids in the nearby X-ray Universe leads to radii of 0.5 to 1 deg and filling factors of less than 60 percent for these structures. Finally, we use the lack of anisotropies below 2 deg to limit the contribution of source clustering to the observed P(D) fluctuations in the X-ray sky. This implies that all fluctuations have to be attributed to source counts and leaves open the mismatch between soft and intermediate-energy extragalactic X-ray source counts.
