Abstract

The high-energy diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Galactic plane, | b | ≤ 10°, is studied using observations from the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma - Ray Observatory . The spatial distribution of the diffuse emission has been determined for four broad energy...
