Self-confinement of low-energy cosmic rays around supernova remnants
Hanno Jacobs, Philipp Mertsch, Vo Hong Minh Phan
Supernova remnants have long been considered as a promising candidate for sources of Galactic cosmic rays. However, modelling cosmic-ray transport around these sources is complicat…
No longer ballistic, not yet diffusive--the formation of cosmic ray small-scale anisotropies
Marco Kuhlen, Vo Hong Minh Phan, Philipp Mertsch
The arrival directions of TeV-PeV cosmic rays are remarkably uniform due to the isotropization of their directions by scattering on turbulent magnetic fields. Small anisotropies ca…
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…
