Extended Data Fig. 2: HaloSat instrumental background model.
From: A disk-dominated and clumpy circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way seen in X-ray emission

The photon index of the instrumental background for each detector is calculated from the count rate in the 3-7 keV band using the slope and intercept values in the table in the equation: Photon index = slope × (hard rate - hr0) + intercept, where hr0 = 0.05 c/s.
