The Galactic contribution to high latitude diffuse γ-ray emission
Recent evidence for a large Galactic halo, based on cosmic-ray radioactive nuclei, implies a significant contribution from inverse Compton emission at high Galactic latitudes. We present predictions for the expected intensity distribution, and show that the EGRET gamma-ray latitude distribution is well reproduced from the plane to the poles. We show that the Galactic component at high latitudes...
متن کاملA MODEL FOR THE SCATTERED LIGHT CONTRIBUTION AND POLARIZATION OF THE DIFFUSE Ha GALACTIC BACKGROUND
We present Monte Carlo simulations of the di†use Ha Galactic background. Our models comprise direct and multiply scattered Ha radiation from the kpc scale height warm ionized medium and midplane H II regions. The scattering is o† dust that is assumed to be well mixed with the gas, with an axisymmetric density distribution taken from the literature. The results of our simulations are all-sky Ha ...
متن کاملGalactic Dust Clouds Are Shining in Scattered Hα Light
Bright emission nebulae, or HII regions, around hot stars are readily seen in Hα light. However, the all-pervasive faint Hα emission has only recently been detected and mapped over the whole sky. Mostly the Hα emission observed along a line of sight is produced by ionised gas in situ. There are, however, cases where all or most of the Hα radiation is due to scattering by electrons or dust parti...
متن کاملDiffuse gamma-ray emission: Galactic and extra- galactic
Here is reviewed our current understanding of Galactic and extragalactic diffuse γ-ray emission. The spectrum of the extragalactic γ-ray background above 30 MeV can be well described by a power law with photon index α=2.1. In the 2-10 MeV range a preliminary analysis of COMPTEL data indicates a lower intensity than previously found, with no evidence for an MeV bump. Most of the models of a trul...
متن کاملStimulated Near-Infrared Light Emission in Graphene
Graphene—a carbon sheet only one atom thick—provides physicists with a playground to explore exotic quantum phenomena, and engineers with a material with which they may be able to miniaturize electronic devices and catch up with Moore’s law [1, 2]. New results reported in Physical Review Letters by Tianqi Li and colleagues at Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University suggest that graphene has a...
