The consequence of a new ISRF model of the Milky Way on predictions for diffuse gamma-ray emission

Abstract

We investigate the impact of the recently published ISRF model of the Milky Way by Popescu et al. on the CR electrons and positrons in the context of cosmic-ray transport modelling. We also study predictions for diffuse Galactic gamma radiation and underline the importance of the increased ISRF intensities.We use the PICARD code for solving the CR transport equation to obtain predictions based on Galactic cosmic-ray electron fluxes. We show that the new ISRF yields gamma-ray intensity increases, most particular at the Galactic Center and in the Galactic Plane. The impact is largest at energies around 220 GeV.
