The Origin of Diffuse X-ray and γ-ray Emission from the Galactic Center Region: Cosmic Ray Particles
The inner couple hundred pcs of our Galaxy is characterized by significant amount of synchrotron-emitting gas, which appears to co-exist with a large reservoir of molecular gas. Many of the best studied sources in this region exhibit a mixture of 6.4 keV Fe Kα emission, molecular line emission and nonthermal radio continuum radiation. The spatial correlation between fluorescent Fe K-α line emis...
متن کاملSNR and fluctuations in the diffuse Galactic γ - ray continuum
In studies of cosmic-ray propagation and diffuse continuum γ-ray emission from the Galaxy it has usually been assumed that the source function can be taken as smooth and time-independent, an approximation justified by the long residence time of cosmic-rays in the Galaxy. However, especially for electrons at high energies where energy losses are rapid, the effect of the stochastic nature of the ...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملDiffuse Galactic gamma rays, cosmic-ray nucleons and antiprotons
The excess of continuum γ-ray emission from the Galaxy above 1 GeV is an unsolved puzzle. It may indicate that the interstellar nucleon or electron spectra are harder than local direct measurements, as could be the case if a local source of cosmic rays were to dominate the nearby flux. It is however difficult to distinguish between the two cases. Cosmic-ray secondary antiprotons provide a way t...
