Effect of nearby supernova remnants on local Cosmic-Rays
نویسنده
چکیده
We study in detail the effect of different particle release times from sources on the cosmic-ray (CR) spectrum below 10eV in the Galaxy. We discuss different possible forms of particle injection such as burst-like injection, continuous injection for a finite time, injection from a stationary source and energy dependent injection. When applied to the nearby known supernova remnants, we find that the observed CR anisotropy data favour the burst-like particle injection model for the CR diffusion coefficient D(E) ∝ Ea with a = 0.3 − 0.6 in the local region. In the study we have also found that the contribution of the sources G114.3+0.3 and Monogem dominate if the observed anisotropy is a result of the effect of the nearby sources. Further study shows that we should not neglect the contribution of the undetected old sources to the local CR anisotropy.

Revisiting the effect of nearby supernova remnants on local cosmic-rays
In an earlier paper (Thoudam 2007), the effect of the nearby known supernova remnants (SNRs) on the local cosmic-rays (CRs) has been studied considering different possible forms of the particle injection time. The present work is a continuation of the previous work, but assumes a more realistic model of CR propagation in the Galaxy. The previous work assumed an unbounded 3-dimensional diffusion...
متن کاملNearby supernova remnants and the cosmic ray spectral hardening at high energies
Recent measurements of cosmic ray spectra of several individual nuclear species by the CREAM, TRACER and ATIC experiments indicate a change in the spectral index of the power laws at TeV energies. Possible explanations among others include non-linear diffusive shock acceleration of cosmic rays, different cosmic ray propagation properties at higher and lower energies in the Galaxy and the presen...
متن کاملCorrelation of Supernova Remnant Masers and Gamma-ray Sources
Supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds are potentially exciting systems in which to detect evidence of cosmic ray acceleration. Prominent γ-ray emission is produced via the decay of neutral pions when cosmic rays encounter the nearby dense clouds. In many of the supernova remnants coincident with γ-ray sources, the presence of OH(1720 MHz) masers is used to identify interaction wi...

متن کاملInverse Compton Emission from Galactic Supernova Remnants: Effect of the Interstellar Radiation Field
The evidence for particle acceleration in supernova shells comes from electrons whose synchrotron emission is observed in radio and X-rays. Recent observations by the HESS instrument reveal that supernova remnants also emit TeV g-rays, long-awaited experimental evidence that supernova remnants can accelerate cosmic rays up to the “knee” energies. Still, uncertainty exists whether these g-rays a...
