| dc.description.abstract | We deduce the interstellar electron spectrum from the nonthermal radio background. From 200 MeV to a few GeV the spectral index is 1.8 and there is evidence for residual solar modulation. Above a few GeV, the spectrum is steeper and the intensity is similar to that observed at earth. A consistent modulation for electrons and protons of the same rigidity can be obtained by using the complete diffusion-convection energy-loss theory of solar modulation. | en_US |
