The cosmic-ray propagation code GALPROP has recently been enhanced in the areas of Galactic magnetic field and synchrotron radiation. A full 3D treatment is now implemented. We describe these enhancements and show applications to the interpretation of non-thermal radio surveys and gamma rays, to probe the Galactic cosmic-ray electron spectrum and magnetic fields.
The Galactic cosmic-ray propagation code GALPROP is designed to make predictions of many kinds of data self-consistently, including direct cosmic-ray measurements, gamma rays and synchrotron radiation. In the decade since its conception it has undergone considerable development, which is continuing. A public version was made available a few years ago, supported by a website. We describe the new features of the current version which will become part of the next public release. Plans for future developments are also mentioned.
