Galactic X rays include thermal bremsstrahlung and line emission from gas at roughly $10^6$--$10^8\,\mathrm K$, together with nonthermal emission from compact binaries, pulsars, and supernova remnants. They consequently trace hot plasma, shocks, accretion, and other high-energy populations; soft X rays are strongly absorbed by intervening gas.
