We have made cross-correlation analyses of (2 -- 15 keV) HEAO A2 and 1 keV ROSAT PSPC All-Sky Survey maps over a selected area ($\sim$ 4000 deg$^2$) with high galactic latitude (b>40 deg). We have calculated the correlations for the bright…

(Abridged) This paper introduces the formalism which connects between rotation measure ($\RM$) measurements for extragalactic sources and the cosmological magnetic field power spectrum. It is shown that the amplitude and shape of the…
