Nonthermal Hard X-Ray Emission from the Galactic Ridge
We investigate the origin of the nonthermal X-ray emission from the Galactic ridge in the range 10−200 keV. We consider bremsstrahlung of subrelativistic cosmic ray protons and electrons as production processes. From the solution of the kinetic equations describing the processes of particle in situ acceleration and spatial propagation we derive parameters of the spectra for protons and electron...
متن کاملOrigin of the Galactic ridge X - ray emission
We analyze a map of the Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE) constructed in the 3–20 keV energy band from RXTE/PCA scan and slew observations. We show that the GRXE intensity closely follows the Galactic near-infrared surface brightness and thus traces the Galactic stellar mass distribution. The GRXE consists of two spatial components which can be identified with the bulge/bar and the disk of t...
متن کاملX - ray sources resolved in the ASCA Galactic plane survey and their contribution to the Galactic ridge X - ray emission
The X-ray emission from the central region of the Galactic plane, |l| . 45 and |b| . 0. 4, was studied in the 0.7–10 keV energy band with a spatial resolution of ∼ 3 with the ASCA observatory. We developed a new analysis method for the ASCA data to resolve discrete sources from the extended Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE). We successfully resolved 163 discrete sources with an X-ray flux do...
متن کاملOn the contribution of point sources to the Galactic ridge X - ray emission
We analyzed deep Chandra observations of the Galactic plane region centered at l = 28.55 • , b = −0.03 • with the aim to obtain the best possible constraints on the contribution of weak point sources to the Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE) in this region. We demonstrate that the vast majority of the detected sources are Galactic in origin and are probably cataclysmic variables and coronally...
