Hadronic nature of high-energy emission from the Galactic ridge

Andrii Neronov

We show that the IceCube observation of the Galactic neutrino-flux component confirms the hint of detection of neutrinos from the Galactic ridge (the inner part of the Milky Way disk within the Galactic longitude IlI < 30(degrees)), previously reported by ...

Hint for a TeV neutrino emission from the Galactic Ridge with ANTARES

Andrii Neronov, Javier García Hernández, Randoald Müller

Interactions of cosmic ray protons, atomic nuclei, and electrons in the interstellar medium in the inner part of the Milky Way produce γ-ray flux from the Galactic Ridge. If the γ-ray emission is dominated by proton and nuclei interactions, a neutrino flux ...
