Description

Full text: Usual suspects for extragalactic high energy gamma-ray emission are cosmic monsters: supermassive black holes and their surrounding, embedded in Active Galactic Nuclei. Normal galaxies begin to arise from the shadows at high energies, as can be seen with the discovery of high energy gamma-ray emission from the Andromeda galaxy (M 31) by the Fermi collaboration. This emission is expected to originate from cosmic ray (CR) interactions with the interstellar medium in these galaxies. For the first time, measurements of the CR energy density are possible outside our Galaxy. We present a study on the search for high energy emission around normal galaxies in the neighbourhood of our Milky Way. (author)
