10 Feb 2004 | | Journal: | in a book "Cosmic Gamma-Ray Sources," eds. K.S. Cheng & G.E. Romero (Dordrecht: Kluwer), Astrophysics and Space Science Library v.304, Chapter 12, pp.279-310 (2004) | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | NASA/GSFC), A. W. Strong (MPE, Garching), O. Reimer (ITP, Bochum | | Abstract: | "Diffuse" gamma rays consist of several components: truly diffuse emission from the interstellar medium, the extragalactic background, whose origin is not firmly established yet, and the contribution from unresolved and faint Galactic point sources. One approach to unravel these components is to study the diffuse emission from the interstellar medium, which traces the interactions of high energy particles with interstellar gas and radiation fields. Because of its origin such emission is potentially able to reveal much about the sources and propagation of cosmic rays. The extragalactic background, if reliably determined, can be used in cosmological and blazar studies. Studying the derived "average" spectrum of faint Galactic sources may be able to give a clue to the nature of the emitting objects. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0402243 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
