Scientific paper

The results of the Apollo-Soyuz extreme ultraviolet (EUV)/soft X-ray diffuse background survey are analyzed to assess the contribution of discrete-sources with blackbody or coronal plasma spectra. Blackbody emitters in the EUV must be less luminous and more numerous than hot white dwarfs in order to produce the bulk of the diffuse flux. Significant contributions to the EUV background appear likely only if sufficient numbers of white dwarfs possess low temperature coronae similar to the one suggested for Sirius B.
