Abstract
Exosat ME observations of the Vela-X region are presented. It is found that the 2-10 keV emission is divided into two components. One is associated with the rulsar but is probably extended by 10-20 arc minutes, the other is associated with the Vela-X radio nebula and is probably more extended (≈ 1 degree). The Vela-X component is softer than the pulsar component. No pulsed emission is observed.
