Mapping the great attractor region in x rays and diffuse x ray emission: A possible galactic wind in the bulge of M31

The NASA ADP Program to study the x ray emission in the direction of the Great Attractor and from the core of M31 has resulted in four papers; three on the Shapley Supercluster which is the dominant x ray feature in the Great Attractor region and one on the diffuse emission in M31. The results of these papers are summarized.
