\item{\textbf{Unresolved sources} are those sources which exist but fall below the detection threshold of a given instrument, and so are not recognised as distinct sources}  \item{\textbf{Truly diffuse galactic emission} refers to the flux contribution from truly diffuse physical processes, for instance ... as discussed further in literature examples such as ... and ...}  \item{\textbf{Galactic background emission} refers to the galactic flux contribution which cannot be directly attriubuted to sources. This may be considered as the sum of the unresolved and truly diffuse emission contributions.}  \end{itemize}This is a study into methods of separating source emission in the Milky Way from background emission, principally those based on iterative significance clipping.
