eROSITA e1 map of the western Galactic hemisphere in orthographic projection. Red, green, and blue show the 0.3–0.6, 0.6–1.0, 1.0–2.3 keV energy bands, respectively. The white regions show the footprint of the eFEDS region the extraction region of the average eFEDS spectrum (see Ponti et al. 2022). Pat thechiness of the soft X-ray diffuse emission in the eFEDS region can be squinted also in this all sky map. Additionally, this map reveals that similar patchiness away from the Galactic plane and Galactic center.
