| Description: The ROSAT PSPC surveys were generated by SkyView as mosaics from publically available PSPC observations. Approximately 15% of the sky is covered by one or more PSPC observation. These are scattered over the sky but concentrate on targets of interest. Note that a query to the SIA service will return a link regardless of whether there are any observations at the given region. A total of 9 maps were created with a count, exposure and intensity map for each of three different cutoff radii. Since the spatial resolution of the PSPC was a strong function of offset from the center of the field of view, use of the smaller cutoffs is recommended when looking for evidence of spatial extent. However, the small cutoff maps have much smaller total sky coverage. |
