Description

Cosmic rays propagate in the Milky Way and interact
with the interstellar medium and magnetic fields. These interactions produce emissions that span the electromagnetic spectrum and are an invaluable tool for
understanding the intensities and spectra of cosmic rays in different
regions of the Milky Way. Hence observations of these emissions complement information from cosmic ray measurements.
We present updates on the study of cosmic ray properties by combining multi-wavelength observations of this interstellar emission with latest accurate CR direct measurements.
