Abstract

Competing models for the origin of the local component of the diffuse X-ray background span more than an order of magnitude in temperature. We propose to test these models with a new instrument, the GRating Array Diffuse EUV Spectrometer (GRADES), which is sensitive to diffuse emission in the 90 – 260 Å bandpass, and offers a peak spectral resolution of about λ/127.
