Cosmic Ray Accelerators in the Large Magellanic Cloud
arXiv:1002.4840 · doi:10.1088/0004-637X/725/1/1
Abstract
I point out a correlation between gamma-ray emissivity and the historical star formation rate in the Large Magellanic Cloud ~12.5 Myr ago. This correlation bolsters the view that CRs in the LMC are accelerated by conglomerations of supernova remnants: i.e. superbubbles and supergiant shells.
