DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mrs. ORLANDO\, Elena (MPE Garching)\nWe study the Su
 n as an extended source of gamma-ray\nemission\, produced by\ninverse-Comp
 ton scattering of  cosmic-ray electrons with the\nsolar radiation. This\ne
 mission contributes to the diffuse gamma-ray background\neven at large ang
 ular\ndistances from the Sun.  While this emission is expected to\nbe read
 ily detectable by\nthe upcoming gamma-ray satellite  GLAST\, the situation
  for\navailable EGRET data is\nmore challenging. Analyzing the  EGRET data
 base\, we find\nclear evidence for the\nemission from the Sun and its vici
 nity\, compatible with our\npredictions. The model\nfor solar gamma-ray pr
 oduction has been implemented taking\ninto account the the solar\nmodulati
 on of cosmic-ray electrons\, and observations of this\nprocess are promisi
 ng to\nstudy the solar modulation of electrons as a function of\ndistance 
 from the Sun.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.mx/event/4/session/11/contr
