A New Determination of the Extragalactic Diffuse Gamma‐Ray Background from EGRET Data
Open accessAbstract
We use the GALPROP model for cosmic-ray propagation to obtain a new estimate of the Galactic component of γ-rays and show that away from the Galactic plane it gives an accurate prediction of the observed EGRET intensities in the energy range 30 MeV to 50 GeV. On this basis we reevaluate the extragalactic γ-ray background. We find that for some energies previous work underestimated the Galactic contribution at high latitudes and hence overestimated the background. Our new background spectrum shows a positive curvature similar to that expected for models of the extragalactic emission based on the blazar population.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
