Diffuse Galactic Soft Gamma-Ray Emission
The Galactic diffuse soft gamma-ray (30-800 keV) emission has been measured from the Galactic Center by the HIREGS balloon-borne germanium spectrometer to determine the spectral characteristics and origin of the emission. The resulting Galactic diffuse continuum is found to agree well with a single power-law (plus positronium) over the entire energy range, consistent with RXTE and COMPTEL/CGRO ...
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 کاملBroad-band diffuse gamma ray emission of the galactic disk
The contributions of different radiation mechanisms to the diffuse γ-ray emission of the galactic disk are studied in a broad energy region from 104 to 1014 eV. Our analysis shows that at energies between 1 and 100 MeV the radiation is dominated by the bremsstrahlung of relatively low energy, typically less than 1 GeV electrons, but with a non-negligible contribution from the inverse Compton (I...
متن کاملThe Diffuse Galactic Gamma-Ray Emission Model for GLAST LAT
Diffuse emission from the Milky Way dominates the γ-ray sky. About 80% of the high-energy luminosity of the Milky Way comes from processes in the interstellar medium. The Galactic diffuse emission traces interactions of energetic particles, primarily protons and electrons, with the interstellar gas and radiation field, thus delivering information about cosmic-ray spectra and interstellar mass i...
متن کاملDiffuse Gamma - Ray Emission
The all-sky surveys in γ-rays by the imaging Compton telescope (COMPTEL) and the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory for the first time allows detailed studies of the extragalactic diffuse emission at γ-ray energies greater 1 MeV. A preliminary analysis of COMPTEL data indicates a significant decrease in the level of the derived cosmic dif...
