Gamma rays as probes of cosmic-ray propagation and interactions in galaxies

L Tibaldo, D Gaggero, P Martin - Universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
Continuum gamma-ray emission produced by interactions of cosmic rays with interstellar
matter and radiation fields is a probe of non-thermal particle populations in galaxies. After …

Particle acceleration in winds of star clusters

G Morlino, P Blasi, E Peretti… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The origin of cosmic rays in our Galaxy remains a subject of active debate. While supernova

The coherent magnetic field of the Milky Way

M Unger, GR Farrar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a suite of models of the coherent magnetic field of the Galaxy based on new
divergence-free parametric functions describing the global structure of the field. The model …

Dark matter or correlated errors: Systematics of the AMS-02 antiproton excess

J Heisig, M Korsmeier, MW Winkler - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
Several studies have pointed out an excess in the AMS-02 antiproton spectrum at rigidities
of 10–20 GV. Its spectral properties were found to be consistent with a dark-matter particle of …

The effects of cosmic rays on the formation of Milky Way-mass galaxies in a cosmological context

T Buck, C Pfrommer, R Pakmor… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CRs) and different modes of CR transport on the
properties of Milky Way-mass galaxies in cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations …

Galactic factories of cosmic-ray electrons and positrons

C Evoli, E Amato, P Blasi, R Aloisio - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We present a novel calculation of the spectrum of electrons and positrons from random
sources, supernova remnants and pulsars, distributed within the spiral arms of the Galaxy …

Galactic halo size in the light of recent AMS-02 data

N Weinrich, M Boudaud, L Derome, Y Génolini… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. The vertical diffusive halo size of the Galaxy, L, is a key parameter for dark matter
indirect searches. It can be better determined thanks to recent AMS-02 data. Aims. We set …

Spectrally resolved cosmic rays–II. Momentum-dependent cosmic ray diffusion drives powerful galactic winds

P Girichidis, C Pfrommer, R Pakmor… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com

previous simulations have integrated out the energy dependence of the CR distribution …

Cosmic rays and non-thermal emission in simulated galaxies–III. Probing cosmic-ray calorimetry with radio spectra and the FIR–radio correlation

M Werhahn, C Pfrommer… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
An extinction-free estimator of the star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies is critical for
understanding the high-redshift universe. To this end, the nearly linear, tight correlation of far …
