Efficient Cosmic Ray Ion Production in Young Supernova Remnants
Donald C. Ellison, Gamil Cassam-Chenai
The strong shocks in young supernova remnants (SNRs) should accelerate cosmic rays (CRs) and no doubt exists that relativistic electrons are produced in SNRs. However, direct evide…
Test-Particle Diffusive Shock Acceleration in Relativistic Shocks
Donald C. Ellison
We present results from a fully relativistic Monte Carlo simulation of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) in unmodified (i.e., test-particle) shocks. The computer code uses a singl…
Thermal Particle Injection in Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration
Donald C. Ellison, Pasquale Blasi, Stefano Gabici
Particle acceleration in collisionless astrophysical shocks, i.e., diffusive shock acceleration (DSA), is the most likely mechanism for producing cosmic rays, at least below 10^{15…
The Production of Anomalous Cosmic Rays by the Solar Wind Termination Shock
Frank C. Jones, Matthew G. Baring, Donald C. Ellison
We have modeled the injection and acceleration of pickup ions at the solar wind termination shock and investigated the parameters needed to produce the observed Anomalous Cosmic Ra…
Photons and Particle Production in Cassiopeia A: Predictions from Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration
Donald C. Ellison, Philippe Goret, Matthew G. Baring +2
We calculate particle spectra and continuum photon emission from the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant (SNR). The particle spectra, ion and electron, result from diffusive shock accel…
The Origin of Present Day Cosmic Rays: Fresh SN Ejecta or Interstellar Medium Material ? II Physics of the SNR shock wave acceleration
D. C. Ellison, J. P. Meyer
Assuming that refractory elements in cosmic rays originate in dust grains, we examine the viability of cosmic ray origin models wherein the bulk of present day cosmic rays are acce…
