The impact of Solar magnetic field configurations on the production of gamma rays at the Solar disk
Julien Dörner, Frederic Effenberger, Horst Fichtner +4
The Sun produces a steady signal of high-energy gamma rays through interactions of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) with its atmosphere. Observations with Fermi-LAT and HAWC have reveal…
Modelling cosmic-ray transport: magnetised versus unmagnetised motion in astrophysical magnetic turbulence
Jeremiah Lübke, Patrick Reichherzer, Sophie Aerdker +4
Cosmic-ray transport in turbulent astrophysical environments remains a multifaceted problem and, despite decades of study, the impact of complex magnetic field geometry -- evident…
Anisotropic Cosmic Ray Transport in strong MHD Turbulence due to Magnetic Mirroring and Resonant Curvature Scattering
Jeremiah Lübke, Frederic Effenberger, Mike Wilbert +2
The transport of cosmic rays through turbulent astrophysical plasmas still constitutes an open problem. Building on recent progress, we study the combined effect of magnetic mirror…
Superdiffusion of energetic particles at shocks: A Lévy Flight model for acceleration
Sophie Aerdker, Lukas Merten, Frederic Effenberger +2
In the Heliosphere, power-law particle distributions are observed e.g. upstream of interplanetary shocks, which can result from superdiffusive transport. This non-Gaussian transpor…
