Erosion of Icy Interstellar Objects by Cosmic Rays and Implications for `Oumuamua
Vo Hong Minh Phan, Thiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb
We study the destruction and modification of icy interstellar objects by cosmic rays and gas collisions. Using the cosmic-ray flux measured in the local interstellar medium as well…
Cosmic Ray Small Scale Anisotropies in Slab Turbulence
Marco Kuhlen, Philipp Mertsch, Vo Hong Minh Phan
In the standard picture of cosmic ray transport the propagation of charged cosmic rays through turbulent magnetic fields is described as a random walk with cosmic rays scattering o…
Stochastic Fluctuations of Low-Energy Cosmic Rays and the Interpretation of Voyager Data
Vo Hong Minh Phan, Florian Schulze, Philipp Mertsch +2
Data from the Voyager probes have provided us with the first measurement of cosmic ray intensities at MeV energies, an energy range which had previously not been explored. Simple e…
Constraining the cosmic ray spectrum in the vicinity of the supernova remnant W28: from sub-GeV to multi-TeV energies
V. H. M. Phan, S. Gabici, G. Morlino +4
Supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds are ideal laboratories to study the acceleration of particles at shock waves and their transport and interactions in the surrou…
Can a cosmic ray carrot explain the ionization level in diffuse molecular clouds?
S. Recchia, V. H. M. Phan, S. Biswas +1
Low energy cosmic rays are the major ionization agents of molecular clouds. However, it has been shown that, if the cosmic ray spectrum measured by Voyager 1 is representative of t…
What causes the ionization rates observed in molecular clouds? The role of cosmic ray protons and electrons
V. H. M. Phan, G. Morlino, S. Gabici
Cosmic rays are usually assumed to be the main ionization agent for the interior of molecular clouds where UV and X-ray photons cannot penetrate. Here we test this hypothesis by li…
