The X-ray background from 0.1 to 7 keV has been studied using data of high spectral and spatial resolution from the ASCA Solid-state Imaging Spectrometers and ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter. Analysing both the diffuse background radiation and resolved sources, we have carried out a series of joint spectral fits of the ASCA and ROSAT data. As found previously with ASCA data alone, th...
