Cosmic-ray positrons from millisecond pulsars
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
Observations by the Fermi Large Area Telescope of γ-ray millisecond pulsar (MSP) light curves imply copious pair
production in their magnetospheres, and not exclusively in those of younger pulsars. Such pair cascades may ...
On the propagation times and energy losses of cosmic rays in the heliosphere
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)
We present calculations of the propagation times and energy losses of cosmic rays as they are transported through the heliosphere. By calculating these quantities for a spatially 1D scenario, we benchmark our numerical ...
Modeling the modulation of galactic and jovian electrons by stochastic processes
(IOP Publishing, 2011)
We present a newly developed numerical modulation model to study the transport of galactic and Jovian electrons in the heliosphere. The model employs stochastic differential equations (SDEs) to solve the corresponding ...
Probing the ATIC peak in the cosmic-ray electron spectrum with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
The measurement of an excess in the cosmic-ray electron spectrum between 300 and 800 GeV by the ATIC experiment has – together with
the PAMELA detection of a rise in the positron fraction up to
≈
100 GeV – ...
Modelling heliospheric current sheet drift in stochastic cosmic ray transport models
(Springer, 2012)
Drifts are one of the major cosmic ray modulation mechanisms in the heliosphere. Three types of drifts occur in the background heliospheric magnetic field, namely curvature, gradient and current sheet drifts. The last ...
Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep H.E.S.S. observations (Corrigendum to article: Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep HESS observations, 464(1):235-243.)
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep H.E.S.S. observations (Corrigendum)
A new SNR with TeV shell-type morphology: HESS J1731-347
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Aims. The recent discovery of the radio shell-type supernova remnant (SNR), G353.6-0.7, in spatial coincidence with the unidentified TeV source HESS J1731−347 has motivated further observations of the source with the High ...
Are anomalous cosmic rays the main contribution to the low-energy galactic cosmic ray spectrum?
(IOP Publishing, 2008)
While the high-energy part of the Galactic cosmic ray spectrum is well observed, its nature at energies below
about 1 GeV nucleon-1 is still not known well. Recent in situ measurements made with the Voyager 1 spacecraft
in ...
