Scientific paper

The shadowing effects of the molecular clouds in the nearby interstellar medium on the soft x-ray background has been investigated, using Roentgen Satellite (ROSAT) Wide Field Camera (WFC) data in conjunction with previous rocket B and C band surveys. Shadowing over a 5 deg extent occurs only for a few percent of the sky, but the mixed model of the interstellar medium (ISM) is supported. Detailed modelling of the 'Draco' shadowing region shows little evidence for a multi-temperature, hot ISM component.
