Diffuse excess 1/4 keV soft X-ray emission was found to be positionally correlated with the column density distribution of the high velocity cloud (HVC) complex C (Kerp et al. 1996). Here we point out that the detected diffuse X-ray emission is indeed associated with the HVC phenomenon. For this purpose we study the 1/4 keV radiation transfer as well as the HI column density distribution of HVCs and intermediate velocity clouds (IVCs) towards HVC complex C in detail. We present evidence that on arcmin scales the 3/4 keV soft X-ray emission is positionally anticorrelated with the HVC column density distribution of an individual HVC filament of complex C.

Abstract Recently /1/ presented evidence for enhanced soft X-ray emission associated with a high-velocity-cloud (HVC). We now present additional observational results which indicate that the X-ray emission is indeed produced by the impact of the HVC onto the galactic disk. Moreover, we present first estimations about the energy budget of the interaction area.
