Cosmic - ray electrons , synchrotron and magnetic fields in the Galaxy
The cosmic-ray propagation code GALPROP has recently been enhanced in the areas of Galactic magnetic field and synchrotron radiation. A full 3D treatment is now implemented. We describe these enhancements and show applications to the interpretation of non-thermal radio surveys and gamma rays, to probe the Galactic cosmic-ray electron spectrum and magnetic fields.
متن کاملAxion-Like Particles, Cosmic Magnetic Fields and Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) are predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model and give rise to characteristic dimming and polarization effects in a light beam travelling in a magnetic field. In this Letter, we demonstrate that photonALP mixing in cosmic magnetic fields produces an observable distortion in the energy spectra of distant gamma-ray sources (like AGN) for ranges of the ALP para...
متن کاملCosmic Ray History and its Implications for Galactic Magnetic Fields
There is evidence that cosmic rays were present in galaxies at moderately high redshift. This suggests that magnetic fields were also present. If cosmic rays and magnetic fields must always be close to equipartition, as they are to an order of magnitude within the local universe, this would provide a powerful constraint on theories of the origin and evolution of magnetic fields in galaxies. We ...
متن کاملCosmic - Ray Electrons and the Diffuse Gamma - Ray Spectrum
Short Title: Cosmic-ray electrons and diffuse gamma-ray spectrum 1 Abstract The bulk of the diffuse galactic gamma-ray emission above a few tens of GeV has been conventionally ascribed to the decay of neutral pions produced in cosmic-ray interactions with interstellar matter. Cosmic-ray electrons may, however, make a significant contribution to the gamma-ray spectrum at high energies, and even ...
متن کاملCosmic-Ray Positive and Negative Electrons
A determination of the specific ionization of cosmic-ray particles, 6rst, by a count of the number of drops per cm along cosmic-ray tracks on cloud-chamber photographs and, second, by measurements of the energy loss in lead has shown that the great bulk of the cosmic-ray particles of positive charge are positive electrons. The primary ionization was found to be about 31 ion-pairs per cm in air ...
