The galactic gamma-ray distribution and the radial cosmic ray gradientThe radial distribution is derived of gamma ray emissivity and the cosmic ray intensity in the Galaxy using the final SAS-2 results, the recently corrected COS-B results, and recent CO surveys of the Northern and Southern Galactic Hemispheres. In addition to the 5 kpc ring of enhanced emission, there is evidence for spiral features. A strong increase in the cosmic ray flux is found in the inner Galaxy, particularly in the 5 kpc region, in both halves of the plane.
