EGRET Observations of the Diffuse Gamma Ray Emission from the Galactic Plane

TL;DR: In this article, the high-energy diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Galactic plane, |b| ≤ 10°, was studied using observations from the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory, and the spatial distribution of the diffuse emission was determined for four broad energy ranges after removing the contribution from point sources detected with greater than 5 σ significance.
