Anisotropic Particle Transport from a Pulsar Wind Nebula Revealed by Einstein Probe and LHAASO

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +339

Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are major cosmic ray accelerators, yet the mechanisms transporting high-energy particles into the interstellar medium remain elusive. Building on the LHA…

An extreme particle accelerator powered by pulsar PSR J1849-0001

The LHAASO Collaboration

Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are bubbles of relativistic particles, powered by the rotational energy loss of the central pulsars. The Crab Nebula, powered by the Milky Way's most ene…

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…

Energy-Dependent Shifts of Medium-Scale Anisotropies in Very-High-Energy Cosmic Rays Observed by LHAASO-KM2A

The LHAASO collabration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +310

Small deviations from isotropy in the arrival directions of Galactic cosmic rays serve as a unique probe of the local magnetic environment. In this Letter, we report observations o…

Measurement of the cosmic ray nickel energy spectrum from 10 GeV/n to 2 TeV/n with the DAMPE

F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +144

Nickel, one of the most tightly bound nuclei alongside iron, is the most abundant heavy element beyond iron in cosmic rays. With DAMPE's excellent charge resolution and broad energ…

Precise measurements of the cosmic ray proton energy spectrum in the "knee'' region

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +310

We report the high-purity identification of cosmic-ray (CR) protons and a precise measurement of their energy spectrum from 0.15 to 12 PeV using the Large High Altitude Air Shower…

Ultra-high-energy -ray emission associated with the tail of a bow-shock pulsar wind nebula

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +292

In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of an unidentified point-like ultra-high-energy (UHE) -ray source, designated as 1LHAASO J1740+0948u, situated in the vicinity…

Broadband -ray spectrum of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +311

The core-collapse supernova remnant (SNR) Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is one of the brightest galactic radio sources with an angular radius of 2.5 $\arcmin$. Although no extension…

Constraining the Cosmic-ray Energy Based on Observations of Nearby Galaxy Clusters by LHAASO

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +323

Galaxy clusters act as reservoirs of high-energy cosmic rays (CRs). As CRs propagate through the intracluster medium, they generate diffuse -rays detectable by arrays such as LH…

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…
