Cosmic rays from Galactic pulsars
We calculate energy spectra and mass composition of cosmic rays accelerated by the galactic population of pulsars during their radio and gamma-ray phase. It is assumed that a significant part of the pulsar rotational energy is lost on acceleration of iron nuclei extracted from the surface of the neutron star. The nuclei are accelerated, at first when passing the outer gap of the inner pulsar ma...
متن کاملGalactic Cosmic Rays from Superbubbles and the Abundances of Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron
In this article we study the galactic evolution of the LiBeB elements within the framework of a detailed model of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy that includes galactic cosmic ray nucleosynthesis by particles accelerated in superbubbles. The chemical composition of the superbubble consists of varying proportions of ISM and freshly supernova synthesized material. The observational trends of...
متن کاملStarburst–driven galactic outflows
We propose a model of starburst–driven galactic outflows whose dynamics depends on both radiation and thermal pressure. Standard models of thermal pressure–driven winds fail to explain some key observations of outflows at low and high redshift galaxies. We discuss a scenario in which radiation pressure from massive stars in a stellar population drive a shell of gas and dust. Subsequent supernov...
متن کاملGalactic cosmic rays
In this brief review we describe the theory of the origin of Galactic cosmic rays. The concept that interaction near the source is the dominant source of γ-rays, and spallation secondaries seems best suited to explain the EGRET γ-spectrum of the inner Galaxy, the abundances of light elements, the anti-protons and the positrons. Also the chemical abundances seem best described as resulting from ...
متن کاملTransition from galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays
The transition from galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays is discussed. One of critical indications for transition is given by the Standard Model of Galactic cosmic rays, according to which the maximum energy of acceleration for iron nuclei is of order of E Fe ≈ 1× 10 eV. At E > E Fe the spectrum is predicted to be very steep and thus the Standard Model favours the transition at energy not much...
