✦ Synopsis

We present a detailed analysis of deep ROSAT HRI observations of the luminous blue variable P Cyg and its surrounding radio nebula. The HRI image provides a point source at the position of P Cyg. However, we show that this emission can be attributed to the ultraviolet leak of the ROSAT HRI. The X-ray flux upper limit derived from the HRI data of this star is discussed in the context of X-ray emission from hot stars. Furthermore, we present a search for diffuse X-ray emission possibly associated with the radio nebula surrounding P Cyg. We compare our results to model predictions and X-ray fluxes observed for shells around other hot stars. Additionally, we detect 10 X-ray sources in the field of view. All but one of these X-ray emitters have stellar counter parts in the Palomar Sky Survey. We suggest that they are active late-type stars possibly belonging to Cyg OB1.

## Abstract As demand for water continues to escalate in the western Unites States, so does the need for accurate monitoring of the snowpack in mountainous areas. In this study, we describe a simple methodology for generating gridded‐estimates of snow water equivalency (SWE) using both surface obse
