Scientific paper

Predictions of a spiral shock model of galactic structure are used to interpret the 150 MHz all-sky map of Landecker and Wielebinski (1970) in terms of the three-dimensional distribution of cosmic ray electrons and magnetic field in the Galaxy. The spiral shock model of Roberts and Yuan (1970) is first modified in order to develop a galactic-plane model and then is extended to three dimensions. The model exhibits a type of uniform distribution of cosmic ray electrons wherein their density is not correlated with the gas density and therefore, is not modulated by the spiral arms. The results and calculation for the upper limit to the radial dependence of the electron density obtained for a uniform field are discussed in relation to previous data and emissivity distribution models.
