Inverse Compton emission from galactic supernova remnants: effect of the interstellar radiation field
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the interstellar radiation field on the inverse Compton emission of electrons accelerated in a supernova remnant located at different distances from the Galactic Centre was evaluated, and it was shown that contribution of optical and infra-red photons may exceed the contribution of cosmic microwave background and in some cases broaden the resulting {gamma}-ray spectrum.

TL;DR: In this article, a fraction of HEAO-3-C2 data was used together with ACE-CRIS data to make predictions for the local interstellar spectra (LIS) of nuclei that are not yet released by AMS-02.

Inverse Compton Scattering on Solar Photons, Heliospheric Modulation, and Neutrino Astrophysics
TL;DR: In this article, the inverse Compton scattering of solar photons by Galactic cosmic-ray electrons is studied and the authors show that the γ-ray emission from this process is substantial, with the maximum flux in the direction of the Sun; the angular distribution of the emission is broad.

On the possible association of ultra high energy cosmic rays with nearby active galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study of the sample of AGNs whose positions are located within 32 of the cosmic rays (CRs) with energies higher than 57 EeV was performed, and it was shown that most of them are classified as Seyfert 2 and low-ionization nuclear emission-line region galaxies whose properties do not differ substantially from other local AGNs.
The Three-Dimensional Spatial Distribution of Interstellar Gas in the Milky Way: Implications for Cosmic Rays and High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emissions
TL;DR: 3D spatial density models for neutral and molecular hydrogen are constructed based on empirical model fitting to gas line-survey data and provide a more realistic basis for the interpretation of non-thermal emissions from the Galaxy.
