This study explores the hot gaseous halo surrounding our galaxy, confirming the presence of the galactic fountain phenomenon. Utilizing Chandra grating spectra of the low-mass X-ray binary X1820-303 and examining energy emissions in various X-ray ranges (1-3 keV, 3-5 keV, and 5-8 keV), we delve into the intricate dynamics of hot gas in the galactic center. Our findings contribute to understanding high-energy processes and the overall energy distribution in the cosmos, as documented in Wang et al. (2002) and complemented by Hubble NICMOS survey data.
