Time Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation

Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...

Compact cosmic ray detector for unattended atmospheric ionisation monitoring

Two vertical cosmic ray telescopes for atmospheric cosmic ray ionisation event detection are compared. Counter A, designed for low power remote use, was deployed in the Welsh mountains; its event rate increased with altitude as expected from atmospheric cosmic ray absorption. Independently, Counter B’s event rate was found to vary with incoming particle acceptance angle. Simultaneous co-located...

Observations of YSO Circumstellar Discs

We present the results of short baseline interferometry observations at submillimetre wavelengths, using a two-element interferometer comprising the JCMT/CSO, of circumstellar discs around young YSOs. We model data for the Class 0 protostar IRAS03282 and the Class I protostar L1709B with discs and compare them with previously published results. We find evidence for the ratio of the disc to enve...

Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar discs

The initial stages of planet formation in circumstellar gas discs proceed via dust grains that collide and build up larger and larger bodies1. How this process continues from metre-sized boulders to kilometre-scale planetesimals is a major unsolved problem2: boulders stick together poorly3, and spiral into the protostar in a few hundred orbits due to a head wind from the slower rotating gas4. G...

3-D model for cosmic ray planetary ionisation in the middle atmosphere

A 3-D planetary model of the cosmic ray electron production rate q(h) (cm−3 s−1) has been developed for the strato-mesosphere and lower thermosphere (altitude range 30–100 km) with a 10-km step. The spectrum of the primary cosmic rays is modelled by an analytical expression using input data from the CREME96 model. An isotropic penetration of the cosmic rays from the upper hemisphere is assumed ...
