Abstract

Sky maps are powerful visualisation tools for quicklook analysis of extended sources. The latest sky map in soft X-rays (0.1-2.4 keV) has been created in 90ies using ROSAT data. By analyzing publically available data from XMM-Newton X-ray mission we constructed new sky maps in two energy bands -- 2-5 keV and 5-10 keV, complementary to ROSAT data, covering about 1% of all sky, and included them to our web-based tool http://skyview.virgoua.org.
