Advancing Precision Particle Background Estimation for Future X-Ray Missions: Correlated Variability between the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and Chandra/XMM-Newton

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) particles have a significant impact on the particle-induced background of X-ray observatories, and their flux exhibits substantial temporal variability, potentially influencing background levels.

Overestimation of Astrophysical Gamma-Ray Energies during Thunderstorms: Synergy of Galactic and Atmospheric Accelerators

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Particle accelerators abound in space plasmas, saturating the cosmos with fully stripped nuclei and gamma rays, with energies surpassing the capabilities of human-made accelerators by orders of magnitude. Upon reaching Earth’s atmosphere, these particles

Note on the Origin of the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
In this note we argue that the galactic model chosen by E.-J. Ahn, G. Medina-Tanco, P.L. Bierman and T. Stanev in their paper discussing the origin of the highest energy cosmic rays, is alone responsible for the focussing of positive particles towards ...

Search for Joint Multimessenger Signals from Potential Galactic Cosmic-Ray Accelerators with HAWC and IceCube

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The origin of high-energy galactic cosmic rays is yet to be understood, but some galactic cosmic-ray accelerators can accelerate cosmic rays up to PeV energies.

Cosmogenic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes
Cosmogenic nuclei, nuclides formed by nuclear interactions of galactic and solar cosmic rays with extraterrestrial or terrestrial matter are discussed. Long lived radioactive cosmogenic isotopes are focused upon.

Rigidity Dependence of the Long-term Galactic Cosmic Ray Variation by AMS-02

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using measurements from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) aboard the International Space Station, we have examined the long-term variations in galactic cosmic ray (GCR) proton fluxes in 2011–2018.

SAS-2 observations of the high energy gamma radiation from the Vela region [PDF]

open access: yes
Data from a scan of the galactic plane by the SAS-B high energy gamma ray experiment in the region 250 deg smaller than 12 smaller than 290 deg show a statistically significant excess over the general radiation from the galactic plane for gamma radiation

Testing Cosmic-Ray Propagation Scenarios with AMS-02 and Voyager Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
AMS-02 on board the International Space Station provides precise measurements of cosmic rays (CR) near Earth, while Voyager measures CRs in the local interstellar medium, beyond the effects of solar modulation.

Progress report on the Heavy Ions in Space (HIIS) experiment [PDF]

open access: yes
One of the objectives of the Heavy Ions In Space (HIIS) experiment is to investigate heavy ions which appear at Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) below the geomagnetic cutoff for fully-ionized galactic cosmic rays.
