The Impact of Cosmic-Ray Transport on the Gamma-Ray Luminosity of Diffuse Gas

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In astrophysical media, relativistic particles (cosmic rays) collide with thermal particles and produce γ -rays through pion decay. Therefore, observations of γ -rays from diffuse gas provide an opportunity to study the distribution of cosmic rays in ...

Study of Flat-spectrum Radio Quasars and BL Lacertae Objects as Sources of Diffusive Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic Rays

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We examine whether flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and BL Lac objects can act as plausible astrophysical sources of diffuse ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs).

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

A Cosmic Ray Acceleration Mechanism Based on Background Flow Velocity Inhomogeneities Yielding Power-law Spectra

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In astrophysics, one significant challenge lies in understanding the acceleration of cosmic rays, which leads to the occurrence of a power law. In this article, momentum transport generated by the combined effects of pitch-angle diffusion and background ...

Cosmic-Ray Boosted Diffuse Supernova Neutrinos

open access: yesAstronomy
The subject of boosted fluxes of dark matter or cosmic relic neutrinos via scattering on cosmic rays has received considerable attention recently. This article investigates the boosted neutrino flux from the scattering of cosmic rays and the so-far ...

The 22-Year Hale Cycle in Cosmic Ray Flux – Evidence for Direct Heliospheric Modulation

open access: yes, 2014
The ability to predict times of greater galactic cosmic ray (GCR) fluxes is important for reducing the hazards caused by these particles to satellite communications, aviation, or astronauts.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.
