| dc.description | The foreground component of the X-ray Background (XRB) can be studied by cross-correlating its intensity with galaxy catalogs. We computed the two-point cross-correlation function $W_{xg}$ between 67 {\em Einstein} X-ray fields and the APM galaxy catalog. We detected a signal with an amplitude of $W_{xg} = .04 \pm .01$, significant at the $3.5σ$ level. The reality of this signal was tested with a series of control data sets. We discuss how this signal can be used to constrain models of the XRB. | |
