Cosmic Ray Acceleration during Large Scale Structure Formation
Clusters of galaxies are storage rooms of cosmic rays. They confine the hadronic component of cosmic rays over cosmological time scales due to diffusion, and the electron component due to energy losses. Hadronic cosmic rays can be accelerated during the process of structure formation, because of the supersonic motion of gas in the potential wells created by dark matter. At the shock waves that ...
متن کاملLarge-scale peculiar motions and cosmic acceleration
Observers with small, but finite, peculiar velocities relative to the Hubble flow can measure a negative deceleration parameter, although the universe may be actually decelerating. The effect is local but it can affect large enough scales to give the impression that the whole universe had recently entered an accelerated phase. We outline the key features of the accelerating mechanism and discus...
متن کاملLarge-scale Cosmic-ray Anisotropy with Kascade
We present the results of an analysis of the large-scale anisotropy of cosmic rays in the PeV range. The Rayleigh formalism is applied to the right ascension distribution of extensive air showers measured by the KASCADE (Karlsruhe Shower Core and Array Detector) experiment. The data set contains about 108 extensive air showers in the energy range 0.7–6 PeV. No hints of anisotropy are visible in...
متن کاملGalaxy formation and cosmic-ray acceleration in a magnetized universe
We study the linear magneto-hydrodynamical behaviour of a Newtonian cosmology with a viscous magnetized fluid of finite conductivity and generalise the Jeans instability criterion. The presence of the field favors the anisotropic collapse of the fluid, which in turn leads to further magnetic amplification and to an enhanced current-sheet formation in the plane normal to the ambient magnetic fie...
متن کاملThe footprint of large scale cosmic structure on the ultra - high energy cosmic ray distribution
Current experiments collecting high statistics in ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are opening a new window on the universe. In this work we discuss a large scale structure model for the UHECR origin which evaluates the expected anisotropy in the UHECR arrival distribution starting from a given astronomical catalogue of the local universe. The model takes into account the main selection e...
