Cosmic Ray Production of Beryllium and Boron at High Redshift
Recently, new observations of 6Li in Pop II stars of the galactic halo have shown a surprisingly high abundance of this isotope, about a thousand times higher than its predicted primordial value. In previous papers, a cosmological model for the cosmic ray-induced production of this isotope in the IGM has been developed to explain the observed abundance at low metallicity. In this paper, given t...
متن کاملProbing Cosmic Ray Origin With Beryllium and Boron
The propagation of cosmic rays through the interstellar medium (ISM) inevitably produces LiBeB nuclei, and the accumulation of these elements over lifetime of galaxy can broadly account for the solar LiBeB abundances. Furthermore, data in old (Population II) stars provides crucial new information: the LiBeB trend versus heavy element abundances traces the Galactic evolution of LiBeB. We summari...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Models for Early Galactic Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron Production
To understand better the early galactic production of Li, Be, and B by cosmic ray spallation and fusion reactions, the dependence of these production rates on cosmic ray models and model parameters is examined. The sensitivity of elemental and isotopic production to the cosmic ray pathlength magnitude and energy dependence, source spectrum, spallation kinematics, and cross section uncertainties...
متن کاملGamma-ray bursts: cosmic rulers for the high-redshift universe?
The desire to extend the Hubble Diagram to higher redshifts than the range of current Type 1a Supernovae observations has prompted investigation into spectral correlations in gamma-ray bursts (GBRs), in the hope that standard candle-like properties can be identified. In this paper, we discuss the potential of these new 'cosmic rulers' and highlight their limitations by investigating the constra...
متن کاملCosmic ray driven outflows from high redshift galaxies
We study winds in high redshift galaxies driven by a relativistic cosmic ray (proton) component in addition to the hot thermal gas component. Cosmic rays (CRs) are likely to be efficiently generated in supernova (SNe) shocks inside galaxies. We obtain solutions of such CR driven free winds in a gravitational potential of the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) form, relevant to galaxies. Cosmic rays natu...
