Abstract:
We exploit synchrotron radiation to constrain the low-energy
interstellar electron spectrum, using various radio surveys and
connecting with electron data from Fermi-LAT and other experiments.
The GALPROP programme for cosmic-ray propagation, gamma-ray and
synchrotron radiation is used. Secondary electrons and positrons are
included. Propagation models based on cosmic-ray and gamma-ray data
are tested against synchrotron data from 22MHz to 94GHz.
