Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
The galactic luminosity for 0.1 < Eγ < 2 GeV can be evaluated directly from observational data and the commonly accepted value is 5 1038 erg s−1. Various contributions to the γ-ray emission can be recognized, namely i) strong sources, ii) pulsars, and iii) diffuse processes. Their relative importance is discussed in the following.
