This study examines the variation in number of X-ray flares and X-ray background flux relative to the usual solar cycle descriptors, the corrected total SSA and the newly revised SSN (Wilson 2015), using yearly means and counts for the interval 1975-2015 based on the record of observations using the GOES (Davis 2007, 2011).
In 2013, another study compared how the cosmic X-ray background (CXB) detected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory compared to the CIB in the same area of the sky.

Professor David Alexander, from Durham University's Department of Physics, is coordinating a vital part of the X-ray background project.
To explain the X-ray background, scientists proposed the local hot bubble--a cavity in the interstellar medium spanning hundreds of light-years that's filled with million-degree, X-ray-emitting gas.
The compared infrared and X-ray background signals across the same stretch of sky.
This dual thickness maximizes durability and rigidity, while maintaining the ultra-low X-ray background scatter that original MicroMounts[TM] are known for.
"The number is large, and it agrees with models that say they are responsible for most of the X-ray background."
It has also resolved the myriad point sources that make up the cosmos' X-ray background. Spectra taken by XMM-Newton have provided the best data yet on the supermassive black holes that lurk at the cores of galaxies.
