Comic ray flux anisotropies caused by astrospheres
arXiv:1607.04963 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2016.06.003
Abstract
Huge astrospheres or stellar wind bubbles influence the propagation of cosmic rays at energies up to the TeV range and can act as small-scale sinks decreasing the cosmic ray flux. We model such a sink (in 2D) by a sphere of radius 10\,pc embedded within a sphere of a radius of 1\,kpc. The cosmic ray flux is calculated by means of backward stochastic differential equations from an observer, which is located at , to the outer boundary. It turns out that such small-scale sinks can influence the cosmic ray flux at the observer's location by a few permille (i.e\ a few 0.1\%), which is in the range of the observations by IceCube, Milagro and other large area telescopes.
