Galactic line emission from 1–10 keV
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
Calculations are given of K-series X-rays produced by interaction of both low energy cosmic rays and diffuse X-rays above 1 keV with heavier ions present in Hi regions. We further consider electron capture to excited states by cosmic ray nuclei of heavy elements, followed by cascades down to the ground state. It is found that the electron capture process may yield appreciable line intensities in the 1–10 keV range in the galactic plane.
