Scientific paper

The galactic gamma-radiation and radio synchrotron radiation contains information on the distribution of cosmic-ray particles, magnetic field and gas throughout the Galaxy. This paper reports a new all-sky survey of 408-MHz radio continuum which has been used to compare the distributions of radio and gamma-ray emission, with the former convolved to the response function of the COS B gamma-ray detector. The overall similarity of the longitude profiles suggests that the bulk of the gamma-ray emission is from the interstellar medium rather than discrete sources. On a large scale in the galactic plane the two emissivities seem to be similarly distributed, although in detail the gamma-ray emission is more clumpy.
