摘要
Measurements supplied by the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) and other gamma-ray telescopes allow the analysis of a variety of processes in galactic and metagalactic space. They are especially important for the problem of cosmic ray origin since a significant part of the observed gamma-ray flux is generated by cosmic rays. Many aspects of this problem are still enigmatic. Gamma-ray data give an opportunity to clarify some of them. We suggest the gradient test for the analysis of gamma-ray emissivity in the galactic disk from which important parameters of cosmic ray propagation can be determined. © 1997 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
