Recently, cosmic rays (CRs) have emerged as a leading candidate for driving galactic winds. Small-scale processes can dramatically affect global wind properties. We run two-moment simulations of CR streaming to study how sound waves are driven unstable by phase-shifted forces and heating. verify linear theory growth rates. As the grow non-linear, they steepen into quasi-periodic series propagat...

In this talk I present resent results on high energy cosmic rays, including energy spectra, composition and the study of arrival directions of cosmic ray primaries. Some related results in gamma-ray astronomy and selected recent advances in theory are also covered. c ⃝ Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

We describe calstis2, the calstis calibration module which combines CRSPLIT and repeated exposures to produce a single, cosmic ray rejected image. Cosmic ray rejection in the STIS pipeline employs a noise model and parameterized rejection criteria to identify and exclude discrepant values in forming the output image. The calstis pipeline is able to perform this cosmic ray rejection because the ...

In this ISR we describe calstis-2, the calstis calibration module which combines CRSPLIT exposures to produce a single cosmic ray rejected image. Cosmic ray rejection in the STIS pipeline will follow the same basic philosophy as does the STSDAS task crrej a series of separate CRSPLIT exposures are combined to produce a single summed image, where discrepant (different by some number of sigma fro...

Cosmic rays scatter off magnetic irregularities (Alfvén waves) with which they are resonant, that is waves of wavelength comparable to their gyroradii. These waves may be generated either by the cosmic rays themselves, if they stream faster than the Alfvén speed, or by sources of MHD turbulence. Waves excited by streaming cosmic rays are ideally shaped for scattering, whereas the scattering eff...

In the following we describe recent progress in our understanding of the origin of cosmic rays. We propose that cosmic rays originate mainly in three sites, a) normal supernova explosions into the interstellar medium, b) supernova explosions into stellar winds, and c) hot spots of powerful radio galaxies. The proposal depends on an assumption about the scaling of the turbulent diiusive transpor...

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 ...

Recently Cuoco and Hannestad have presented estimates for the neutrino flux of Centaurus A under the assumption that two out of the 27 highest energy cosmic-ray events observed by the Pierre Auger collaboration can be attributed to this galaxy. In this work we elaborate on this assumption and estimate the diffuse neutrino flux assuming that all cosmic-ray sources are similar to Centaurus A. Wit...

There are two types of high-speed solar wind streams classified in two categories: coronal hole associated and flare generated streams. These two types of streams are classified in two categories base on magnetic field and solar wind plasma parameters. We studied the dependence of cosmic ray depressions due to high-speed solar wind streams during low amplitude days. Cosmic ray intensity data wa...

We have measured the barometer coefficient of cosmic ray neutron production at sea level and find the value —9,25% ± 0,20/cmHg. We have shown that there is no diurnal variation of neutron production of amplitude greater than about 0,4 %. The effects of the large solar flare of November 19th, 1949 on cosmic ray neutrons were much greater than on ionising cosmic rays at sea level; the maximum fac...
