Scattering by Interstellar Dust Grains . II . X - Rays
Scattering and absorption of X-rays by interstellar dust is calculated for a model consisting of carbonaceous grains and amorphous silicate grains. The calculations employ realistic dielectric functions with structure near X-ray absorption edges, with resulting features in absorption, scattering, and extinction. Differential scattering cross sections are calculated for energies between 0.3 and ...
متن کاملAntiprotons from spallations of cosmic rays on interstellar matter
Cosmic ray antiprotons provide an important probe for the study of the galactic Dark Matter, as they could be produced by neutralino annihilations, primordial black holes evaporations or other exotic sources. On the other hand, antiprotons are anyway produced by standard nuclear reactions of cosmic ray nuclei on interstellar matter (spallations), that are known to occur in the Galaxy. This proc...
متن کاملOn the Motion of Cosmic Rays in Interstellar Space
The limitation of a current consisting of charged high energy particles (cosmic rays) passing through interstellar space is discussed. As interstellar matter is ionized, interstellar space is considered as a good conductor so that the electric field always equals zero. The motion of the particles is then governed by the magnetic fields produced by themselves. This sets a rather low upper limit ...
متن کاملEnergetic Processing of Interstellar Silicate Grains by Cosmic Rays
While a significant fraction of silicate dust in stellar winds has a crystalline structure, in the interstellar medium nearly all of it is amorphous. One possible explanation for this observation is the amorphization of crystalline silicates by relatively ‘‘low’’ energy, heavy-ion cosmic rays. Here we present the results of multiple laboratory experiments showing that single-crystal synthetic f...
متن کاملISM : Discriminating between Cosmic Rays and X - rays
The ISM of active galaxy centers is exposed to a combination of cosmic ray, FUV and X-ray radiation. We apply PDR models to this ISM with both 'nor-mal' and highly elevated (5 × 10 −15 s −1) cosmic-ray rates and compare the results to those obtained for XDRs. Our existing PDR-XDR code is used to construct models over a 10 3 − 10 5 cm −3 density range and for 0.16-160 erg s −1 cm −2 im-pingent f...
