We present new results based on the analysis of ROSAT PSPC observations towards nearby neutral clouds. These clouds are detectable as deep soft X-ray absorption features within the ¼ keV energy band. Towards one of these clouds, optical absorption line measurements determine an upper distance limit of D ≤ 60 pc. The presented data suggest that this filament is only a part of a much more extended local–cloud structure. Here we demonstrate that we most probably detected a local neutral atomic hydrogen “wall” in the direction of a low–velocity arc (Pietz 1994).
