A connection between star formation activity and cosmic rays in the starburst galaxy M 82

V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +89

Although Galactic cosmic rays (protons and nuclei) are widely believed to be dominantly accelerated by the winds and supernovae of massive stars, definitive evidence of this origin…
