On the cosmic ray spectrum from type II Supernovae expanding in their red giant presupernova wind
Martina Cardillo, Elena Amato, Pasquale Blasi
While from the energetic point of view SNRs are viable sources of Galactic CRs, the issue of whether they can accelerate protons up to PeV remains unsolved. Here we discuss particl…
Particle acceleration and radiation in Pulsar Wind Nebulae
Elena Amato
Pulsar Wind Nebulae are the astrophysical sources that host the most relativistic shocks in Nature and the only Galactic sources in which we have direct evidence of PeV particles.…
Particle Acceleration in Astrophysical Sources
Elena Amato
Astrophysical sources are extremely efficient accelerators. Some sources emit photons up to multi-TeV energies, a signature of the presence, within them, of particles with energies…
Constraints on particle acceleration sites in the Crab Nebula from relativistic MHD simulations
Barbara Olmi, Luca Del Zanna, Elena Amato +1
The Crab Nebula is one of the most efficient accelerators in the Galaxy and the only galactic source showing direct evidence of PeV particles. In spite of this, the physical proces…
