Abstract

The distribution of 2 - 6 keV X-ray emission in the galactic plane in the first and fourth galactic quadrants has been measured in a series of scanning observations with the medium-energy proportional counters on EXOSAT. The results are presented as contour maps and in the form of a catalogue of 70 discrete sources.
