Abstract

It has been known for decades that the Local Bubble (LB) is a very important contributor to the diffuse soft x-ray background. The exact contribution of the LB in different directions of the sky is still unknown. With the advent of the new generation of x-ray satellites, like XMM-Newton and Chandra, we can performed on a systematic study of the spatial structure of the LB. We present a spectral study of the LB contribution to the soft x-ray background emission in the direction of Hyades and Ophiuchus.
