Scientific paper

The longitude distribution of gamma rays of energy MeV produced by the inverse Compton interaction in the galaxy is calculated. Cosmic ray electron density is considered either uniform throughout the galactic plane, or varying in accordance with the model of Paul et al. (1974). Stellar photon intensity is estimated using models of mass distribution in the galactic nucleus and the disc. Contribution of the 2.7 K black-body radiation is included. It is found that the calculated gamma ray flux from the galactic center direction is lower than that measured by the SAS II satellite by an order of magnitude.
