What is the Cosmic-Ray luminosity of our Galaxy?
The total cosmic-ray luminosity of the Galaxy is an important constraint on models of cosmic-ray generation. The diffuse high energy $\gamma$-ray and radio-synchrotron emissions of the Milky Way are used to derive this luminosity. The result is almost two orders of magnitude larger than the standard...

| description | The total cosmic-ray luminosity of the Galaxy is an important constraint on models of cosmic-ray generation. The diffuse high energy $\gamma$-ray and radio-synchrotron emissions of the Milky Way are used to derive this luminosity. The result is almost two orders of magnitude larger than the standard estimate, based on the observed isotopic abundances of cosmic ray nuclides. We discuss the plausible interpretation of this discrepancy and the possible origin of such a relatively large luminosity. |
