Diffuse gamma-ray emission model — •Andreas Hillert, Sabrina Casanova, and Werner Hofmann — MPI-K Heidelberg

The diffuse gamma-ray emission in our Galaxy is produced by electrons interacting mainly with radiation fields and protons which interact with ambient gas. By simulating a population of galactic sources, which accelerate protons and electrons, distributed according to the populations of supernova remnants and pulsars at radio wavelengths, we estimate the diffuse gamma-ray emission at GeV and TeV energies from intermediate and high latitudes above the Galactic Plane. We present here the predictions of our model.
