Abstract

The first X-ray-opaque cloud in the direction of Auriga lies at 180 pc. A tenuous cloud, whose distance is derived from IUE absorption line studies as well as from an analysis of ROSAT data, is embedded at 55 pc. The X-ray emitting gas has a temperature of 10^{5.9-6.0} K. The pressure is 1.6 10^4 K cm^{-3}.
