2 The Synchrotron Emission of the Galaxy quick overview of recent models in view of PLANCK results e.g., the pre-launch PSM, in Delabrouille, J., et al., A&A (2013) They use the template 408 MHz Haslam, and extrapolate in frequency to the Planck ν-channels, assuming (i) a spectral index β s 3.0 (i.e., n epeq9e p, p 3), or (ii) using a β s map derived by combining the 408 MHz and WMAP 23 GHz data (see e.g., Miville-Dechenes et al. 2008) e.g., Fauvet, L., et al., A&A (2012) analytical spatial distribution n epr, zq9 expp r{r scale q{rcoshp2z{z scale qs (Drimmel & Spergel (2001)), with an uniform CRE spectrum and β s 3.45pÑ p 4!!q, and the HAMMURABI code (Waelkens et al., 2009) to compute RMs and synchrotron sky maps. e.g., GALPROP results (Strong, A.W., Orlando, E., Jaffe, T.J., A&A (2011) they based on a physical CRE model, accounting for a double broken power-law source spectrum (w/o extra-component), and uniform diffusion coefficient, and a continuous source distribution (see also Orlando E. contribution in the Poster session) Giuseppe Di Bernardo, in collaboration Planck Conference with Evoli, Ferrara, C.,, December Gaggero, 05, 2014 D.,, Grasso, D.

10 How do the Large Scale Structures Influence the Observables? 8 Faucher-Giguère and Kaspi TABLE 2 Spiral Arm Parameters The effects of the spiral arm pattern We live in an inter-arm region: most of the CR sources lie in the arms; high energy CRE cross through larger distances than what expected in a smooth model, where no spiral arm structure is taken into account; more severe energy losses (via IC & Synchrotron): steepening; no steep injection: compatible with 1 st Fermi acceleration mechanism The spiral arm structure...[see e.g., Faucher-Giguere & Kaspi, 2007] Arm Number Name k r0 θ0 (rad) (kpc) (rad) Isolated neutron stars are thought to be formed in core- These mark the deaths of massive, short-lived Population I stars associated with the arms of spiral galaxies. It is thus expected that the birth sites of isolated pulsars will be highly correlated with spiral arms. In fact, Kramer et al.

22 Conclusions More effort is needed Giuseppe Di Bernardo, in collaboration Planck Conference with Evoli, Ferrara, C.,, December Gaggero, 05, 2014 D.,, Grasso, D. (MPA) 21 / 23 Multichannel analysis! We exploited the galactic diffuse synchrotron emission as a way to measure the low energy LIS spectrum of CRE; The synchrotron emission, conversely to the common 10 Be{ 9 Be constraint, offers instead a much more direct probe of the magnetic halo height, z t. The spatial and energy distribution of CRE is largely affected by the spiral arm pattern for energy around (and above) 50GeV : that reflects drastically on the angular distribution and the spectral index map of the synchrotron emission; DRAGON: a suitable tool for most CR analysis; GAMMASKY will be soon complete of all relevant components (free-free emission, all Stokes parameters... etc) γ-fermi-lat, CRs and Planck data, simultaneously (see Ensslin s talk).
