PR #     1
   This is one of the brightest regions of diffuse emission in the0.5-1.0
   keV band of the X-ray spectrum. Since this emission isthought to be
   thermal emission from a plasma of cosmic abundancethere should be
   strong line emission from oxygen, neon and iron.The data should
   provide new information on the temperature of thisemission as well as
   provide a good test of the SIS for separatinglines at low energy and
   for spectral deconvolution.
