Galactic cosmic rays & gamma rays : a synthesis
We have developed a model which aims to reproduce observational data of many kinds related to cosmic-ray origin and propagation: direct measurements of nuclei, antiprotons, electrons and positrons, γ-rays, and synchrotron radiation. Our main results include evaluation of diffusion/convection and reacceleration models, estimates of the halo size, calculations of the interstellar positron and ant...
متن کاملModelling cosmic rays and gamma rays in the Galaxy
An extensive program for the calculation of galactic cosmic-ray propagation has been developed. This is a continuation of the work described in [1]. The main motivation for developing this code [2] is the prediction of diffuse Galactic gamma rays for comparison with data from the cgro instruments egret, comptel, and osse. The basic spatial propagation mechanisms are (momentumdependent) diffusio...
متن کاملPropagation of Cosmic Rays and Diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays
This paper presents an introduction to the astrophysics of cosmic rays and diffuse γ-rays and discusses some of the puzzles that have emerged recently due to more precise data and improved propagation models: the excesses in Galactic diffuse γ-ray emission, secondary antiprotons and positrons, and the flatter than expected gradient of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. These also involve the dark matte...
متن کاملStudies of Cosmic Rays with GeV Gamma Rays
We describe the role of GeV gamma-ray observations with GLAST-LAT (Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope Large Area Telescope) in identifying interaction sites of cosmic-ray proton (or hadrons) with interstellar medium (ISM). We expect to detect gamma rays from neutral pion decays in high-density ISM regions in the Galaxy, Large Magellanic Cloud, and other satellite galaxies. These gamma-ray sou...
متن کاملMulti-messenger Astronomy: Cosmic Rays, Gamma-rays and Neutrinos
Although cosmic rays were discovered a century ago, we do not know where or how they are accelerated. There is a realistic hope that the oldest problem in astronomy will be solved soon by ambitious experimentation: air shower arrays of 10,000 kilometer-square area, arrays of air Cerenkov telescopes and kilometer-scale neutrino observatories. Their predecessors are producing science. We will rev...
