Limits on the Emission From Fe VIII-XII in the Hot Local Interstellar Medium.

Abstract

The majority of the emitted power from an optically thin million degree plasma (such as the one thought to produce the soft xray background) originates in the EUV band at wavelengths longer than 170 degrees A. Lines from Fe VIII - Fe XII dominate the emission in this wavelength region. This paper describes work in progress on the analysis of three years of data from the ALEXIS mission in search of this flux
