28.01.: Habilitationskolloquium: Dr. Kathrin Egberts, Exploring the Non-Thermal Milky Way with Gamma-Rays

Most of the radiation observed from the Milky Way is thermal radiation, generated in hot environments like stars. Gamma-rays, however, exhibit too high energies to originate from thermal processes. They are produced by interactions of very energetic cosmicÂ rays. As such, they can reveal the characteristics of these relativistic particles: Gamma-rays are used to identify the sites that accelerate cosmic rays to very high energies, and to investigate the propagation of cosmic rays through the Milky Way. Thereby, gamma-ray observations open a new window on the Milky Way, exploring its more extreme and energetic conditions.
