  DXL (Diffuse X-rays from the Local Galaxy) is a sounding rocket mission
designed to quantify and characterize the contribution of Solar Wind Charge
eXchange (SWCX) to the Diffuse X-ray Background and study the properties of the
Local Hot Bubble (LHB). Based on the results from the DXL mission, we
quantified and removed the contribution of SWCX to the diffuse X-ray background
measured by the ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS). The "cleaned" maps were used to
investigate the physical properties of the LHB. Assuming thermal ionization
equilibrium, we measured a highly uniform temperature distributed around
kT=0.097 keV+/-0.013 keV (FWHM)+/-0.006 keV (systematic). We also generated a
thermal emission measure map and used it to characterize the three-dimensional
(3D) structure of the LHB which we found to be in good agreement with the
structure of the local cavity measured from dust and gas.
