Observations of diffuse galactic gamma rays
Abstract
Observations of 35 MeV to several GeV diffuse gamma radiation from the galaxy are available from the SAS-2 and COS-B instruments. This paper gives a brief review of the experimental problem, a discussion of the high-latitude (local) galactic component, and a study of the more distant low-latitude emission from the galactic plane. Finally, the emerging observations in other energy ranges are mentioned.
