Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce the diffuse emission spectra from GALPROP used in the Fermi paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/0912.0973
"Fermi Large Area Telescope Measurement of the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission at Intermediate Galactic Latitudes ".

Therefore I copied the datapoints for the GALPROP prediction in Fig. 2, page 5 in the cited paper and tried to reproduce these points with the Galprop webrun v54.

For pion decay and bremsstrahlung it looks very fine. However for IC the fermi model is a factor 2 above the prediction of the conventional model I use (see attached plot).

Can you think of any reason for this? How can it be that the bremsstrahlung emission is the same for both models but the IC isn't? Can this have something to do with another ISRF model used by the Fermi people?

A typical GALDEF file that I'm using is attached.

Many thanks,
Gerrit

the ISRF did indeed change, but I did not expect the difference to be a factor 2.
Did you include all the components (CMB, FIR, optical) if you used the ISRF components file ?
I cannot open your attachments by the way.

I expect the difference is in the electron injection spectral slope - you have 2.50 but we used 2.42 I think in the Fermi paper.
this does not affect the bremss which comes from low energy electrons but has a big effect on IC from higher energies.
You can see this clearly since the IC slope is flatter in the Fermi than yours.
