Modified Temperature–Redshift Relation and Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Ray Propagation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We reexamine the interactions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with photons from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) under a changed, locally nonlinear temperature–redshift relation T ( z ).

RevMexAA (Serie de Conferencias), 9, 97-98 (2000)

open access: yes, 2007
We investigate the possibility that the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) events observed above the GZK limit are mostly protons accelerated in reconnection sites just above the magnetosphere of newborn millisecond pulsars that are originated by ...

THE RELATION BETWEEN POST-SHOCK TEMPERATURE, COSMIC-RAY PRESSURE, AND COSMIC-RAY ESCAPE FOR NON-RELATIVISTIC SHOCKS

open access: yes, 2010
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are thought to be the dominant source of Galactic cosmic rays. This requires that at least 5% of the available energy is transferred to cosmic rays, implying a high cosmic-ray pressure downstream of SNR shocks.

The toes of the ultra high energy cosmic ray spectrum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
We study the effects of the galactic magnetic field on the ultra high energy cosmic ray propagation. We show that the deflections of the cosmic ray trajectories can have many important implications such as (de)magnification of the cosmic ray fluxes by ...

A Hierarchical Shock Model of Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Rays

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We propose that a hierarchical shock model—including supernova remnant shocks, galactic wind termination shocks, and accretion shocks around cosmic filaments and galaxy clusters—can naturally explain the cosmic-ray spectrum from ∼1 GeV up to ∼ 200 EeV ...

Gamma ray astronomy in the low energy range

open access: yes, 1979
A low energy gamma ray telescope, and the results of its observations are described. The telescope consisted of four sodium iodide crystals, each of 120 cm2 area, occulted by lead discs.

Neutrinos from Gamma Ray Bursts in the IceCube and ARA Era

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
In this review I discuss the ultra-high energy neutrinos (UHEN) originated from Cosmic-Rays propogation (GZK neutrinos) and from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), and discuss their detectability in kilometers scale detectors like ARA and IceCube.

Physics from Time Variability of the VHE Blazar PKS 2155-304 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Blazars are the principal extragalactic sources of very high energy gamma-ray emission in the Universe. These objects constitute a sub-class of Active Galactic Nuclei whose emission is dominated by Doppler boosted non-thermal radiation from plasma ...

Cosmogenic neutrinos and ultra-high energy cosmic ray models

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceWe use an updated version of SimProp, a Monte Carlo simulation scheme for the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, to compute cosmogenic neutrino fluxes expected on Earth in various scenarios. These fluxes are compared with

X-Ray Binaries: A Potential Dominant Contributor to the Cosmic-Ray Spectral Knee Structure

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
“PeVatrons” refer to astrophysical sources capable of accelerating particles to energies of ∼PeV and higher, potentially contributing to the cosmic-ray spectrum in the knee region.
