Abstract
We present here a computer model of the spatial distribution of the lu minosity, produced by old isolated neutron stars and black holes accre ting from the interstellar medium. We show that the luminosity distrib utions in the Galaxy have a ring structure, with a maximum at approxim ate to 5kpc radius.
