Interpreting the Low Frequency Radio Spectra of Starburst Galaxies: A Pudding of Strömgren Spheres
Brian C. Lacki
The low frequency radio emission of starburst galaxies is informative, but it can be absorbed in several ways. Most importantly, starburst galaxies are home to many H II regions, w…
The Star-Forming Galaxy Contribution to the Cosmic MeV and GeV Gamma-Ray Background
Brian C. Lacki, Shunsaku Horiuchi, John F. Beacom
While star-forming galaxies could be major contributors to the cosmic GeV -ray background, they are expected to be MeV-dim because of the "pion bump" falling off below ~100 MeV.…
Gamma-Ray Dominated Regions: Extending the Reach of Cosmic Ray Ionization in Starburst Environments
Brian C. Lacki
Cosmic rays are appealing as a source of ionization in starburst galaxies because of the great columns they can penetrate, but in the densest regions of starbursts, they may be sto…
Starbursts and High-Redshift Galaxies are Radioactive: High Abundances of Al and Other Short Lived Radionuclides
Brian C. Lacki
Short lived radionuclides (SLRs) like Al are synthesized by massive stars and are a byproduct of star formation. The abundances of SLRs in the gas of a star-forming galaxy a…
Building up the spectrum of cosmic-rays in star-forming regions
Diego F. Torres, Analia Cillis, Brian Lacki +1
The common approach to compute the cosmic-ray distribution in an starburst galaxy or region is equivalent to assume that at any point within that environment, there is an accelerat…
