Changes in cloud cover associated with Forbush decreases of galactic cosmic rays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The results of a study to quantify the relationship between cloud cover and short-term Forbush decreases (FD) of galactic cosmic ray flux are presented. Using an extensive record of global satellite-derived cloud products from the International Satellite

Extragalactic and galactic sources: New evidence, new challenges, new opportunities

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Recent data bring in sharper focus the issue of relative contributions of galactic and extragalactic sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. On the one hand, there is some new evidence, from gamma-ray observations of blazars, that cosmic rays are ...

Giant Molecular Clouds as probes of of Galactic Cosmic Rays with Fermi-LAT [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
Direct measurements of Cosmic Rays (CRs) can not extend much further than the Solar System. In order to probe the so-called “sea” of Galactic Cosmic Rays, one should rely on secondary emission.

Galactic Cosmic Rays - Theory and Interpretation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The arguments surrounding the Galactic component of the cosmic rays, the energy budget, ques- tions of composition, spectral features, anisotropy, sources etc, will be critically examined.

Assessment of galactic cosmic ray models [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2012
Among several factors involved in the development of a manned space mission concept, the astronauts' health is a major concern that needs to be considered carefully. Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), which mainly consist of high‐energetic nuclei ranging from hydrogen to iron and beyond, pose a major radiation health risk in long‐term space missions.

GALACTIC AND EXTRAGALACTIC SUPERNOVA REMNANTS AS SITES OF PARTICLE ACCELERATION

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2013
Supernova remnants, owing to their strong shock waves, are likely sources of Galactic cosmic rays. Studies of supernova remnants in X-rays and gamma rays provide us with new insights into the acceleration of particles to high energies. This paper reviews

Recurrent variations of anomalous oxygen in association with a corotating interaction region [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 1996
The fluxes of anomalous oxygen (E ranging from 3.5-6.8 MeV/amu), as measured by the EPAC instrument on ULYSSES, show a recurrent variation with the solar rotation period, which is anticorrelated with the fluxes of particles accelerated at the shocks ...

Ionization of the Venusian atmosphere from Solar and Galactic Cosmic Rays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The atmospheres of the terrestrial planets are exposed to solar and galactic cosmic rays, the most energetic of which are capable of affecting deep atmospheric layers through extensive nuclear and electromagnetic particle cascades.

The galactic cosmic ray ionization rate [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
The chemistry that occurs in the interstellar medium in response to cosmic ray ionization is summarized, and a review of the ionization rates that have been derived from measurements of molecular abundances is presented. The successful detection of large abundances of H 3 +

GALACTIC COSMIC RAY ANISOTROPY MODELLING

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020
We calculate the angular distribution of cosmic rays at a given point of the heliosphere under the assumption that the incoming flux from outer space is isotropic. The static magnetic field is shown to cause no anisotropy provided that the observation point is situated out of the trapped particle area.
