GLOBAL COSMIC-RAY-RELATED LUMINOSITY AND ENERGY BUDGET OF THE MILKY WAY
We use the GALPROP code for cosmic-ray (CR) propagation to calculate the broad-band luminosity spectrum of the Milky Way related to CR propagation and interactions in the interstellar medium. This includes gamma-ray emission from the production and subsequent decay of neutral pions, bremsstrahlung, and inverse Compton scattering, and synchrotron radiation. …
