Effects of the Gas Content on the Gamma-Ray Emission From the Galactic Bulge

Conference · · AIP Conf.Proc.921:482-483,2007
OSTI ID:959350
We use the recent model for the distribution of interstellar gas in the Galactic bulge developed by Ferriere et al. (2007) together with the Galprop numerical code to compute the Galactic diffuse gamma-ray emission due to cosmic rays. We then compare our computed Galactic diffuse gamma-ray sky with the previous results obtained with Galprop. Based on the differences between the models of gas of [1] and that commonly employed in Galprop, we investigate what observational constraints GLAST/LAT could provide by simulating one year of GLAST/LAT sky survey.
