The Effect of Martian Surface Geometry on Ultraviolet Fluxes
Introduction: The atmosphere of Mars, unlike that of the Earth, does little to attenuate incoming ultraviolet radiation. Such large amounts of ultraviolet radiation are known not only to sterilize the hardiest of terrestrial organisms within minutes [1], but to chemically alter the soil such that organic molecules in the upper few cm are rapidly destroyed [2]. Thus the survival of any putative ...
متن کاملUpper Limits to Fluxes of Neutrinos and Gamma-Rays from Starburst Galaxies
Loeb and Waxman have argued that high energy neutrinos from the decay of pions produced in interactions of cosmic rays with interstellar gas in starburst galaxies would be produced with a large enough flux to be observable. Here we obtain an upper limit to the diffuse neutrino flux from starburst galaxies which is a factor of ∼5 lower than the flux which they predict. Compared with predicted fl...
متن کاملGamma Rays from the Ensemble of Snrs
The diffuse Galactic γ-ray background, as observed with EGRET on CGRO, exceeds the model predictions significantly above 1 GeV. This is particularly true for the inner Galaxy. We shall discuss here the contribution of the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) sources, considered as unresolved, and in addition the possibility that the transport of the GCRs out of the Galaxy is not uniform over the Galactic ...
متن کاملGamma-Rays from Positron Annihilation
SPI on INTEGRAL has provided spectra and a map of the sky in the emission from annihilations of positrons in the interstellar medium of our Galaxy. From high-resolution spectra we learned that a warm, partially-ionized medium is the site where the observed gamma-rays originate. The gamma-ray emission map shows a major puzzle for broader astrophysics topics, as it is dominated by a bright and ex...
متن کاملGamma rays from molecular clouds
It is believed that the observed diffuse gamma ray emission from the galactic plane is the result of interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar gas. Such emission can be amplified if cosmic rays penetrate into dense molecular clouds. The propagation of cosmic rays inside a molecular cloud has been studied assuming an arbitrary energy and space dependent diffusion coefficient. If the ...
