Origin and propagation of extremely high-energy cosmic rays

P Bhattacharjee, G Sigl - Physics Reports, 2000 - Elsevier
Cosmic-ray particles with energies in excess of 1020eV have been detected. The sources as
well as the physical mechanism (s) responsible for endowing cosmic-ray particles with such …

The astrophysics of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays

K Kotera, AV Olinto - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
The origin of the highest energy cosmic rays is still unknown. The discovery of their sources
is expected to reveal the workings of the most energetic astrophysical accelerators in the …

High energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources: An upper bound

E Waxman, J Bahcall - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
We show that cosmic-ray observations set a model-independent upper bound of E ν 2 Φ ν<
2× 10− 8 G e V/cm 2 s sr to the intensity of high-energy neutrinos produced by photo-meson …

Turbulence and magnetic fields in the large-scale structure of the universe

D Ryu, H Kang, J Cho, S Das - Science, 2008 - science.org
The nature and origin of turbulence and magnetic fields in the intergalactic space are
important problems that are yet to be understood. We propose a scenario in which turbulent …

Cosmic ray bound for models of extragalactic neutrino production

K Mannheim, RJ Protheroe, JP Rachen - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
We obtain the maximum diffuse neutrino intensity predicted by hadronic photoproduction
models of the type which have been applied to the jets of active galactic nuclei or gamma …

Constrained simulations of the magnetic field in the local Universe and the propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays

K Dolag, D Grasso, V Springel… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We use simulations of large-scale structure formation to study the build-up of magnetic fields
(MFs) in the intergalactic medium. Our basic assumption is that cosmological MFs grow in a …

Reviving fossil radio plasma in clusters of galaxies by adiabatic compression in environmental shock waves

TA Ensslin - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 - aanda.org
We give for a plasma with a history of several expansion and contraction phases an
analytical model of the evolution of a contained relativistic electron population under …

Cosmological magnetic field limits in an inhomogeneous universe

P Blasi, S Burles, AV Olinto - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the effect of inhomogeneities in the matter distribution of the universe on the
Faraday rotation of light from distant QSOs and derive new limits on the cosmological …

Properties of cosmic shock waves in large-scale structure formation

F Miniati, D Ryu, H Kang, TW Jones… - The Astrophysical …, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We have examined the properties of shock waves in simulations of large-scale structure
formation. Two cosmological scenarios have been considered: a standard cold dark matter …

Spontaneous magnetization of collisionless plasma

M Zhou, V Zhdankin, MW Kunz… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
We study within a fully kinetic framework the generation of “seed” magnetic fields through
the Weibel instability, driven in an initially unmagnetized plasma by a large-scale shear …
