Transient Large-Scale Anisotropy in TeV Cosmic Rays due to an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +309

Large- or medium-scale cosmic ray anisotropy at TeV energies has not previously been confirmed to vary with time. Transient anisotropy changes have been observed below 150 GeV, esp…

Does or did the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A operate as a PeVatron?

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276

For decades, supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered the prime sources of Galactic Cosmic rays (CRs). But whether SNRs can accelerate CR protons to PeV energies and thus dom…
