The gamma ray flux is an emission of subspace compression anomalies. It increases the further a starship travels into the anomaly. (DS9 episode: "One Little Ship")
Gamma ray flux levels can by used as a meter of the effects the subspace compression anomaly has on a starship and its crew. (ST reference: The Starfleet Survival Guide)
