The Random Magnetic Field of the Milky Way
Michael Unger, Glennys R. Farrar
We constrain the large-scale isotropic random component of the Galactic magnetic field using the Planck reconstruction of the 408 MHz synchrotron sky. Our analysis simultaneously f…
How well is the local Large Scale Structure of the Universe known? CosmicFlows vs. Biteau's Galaxy Catalog with Cloning
Yifei Li, Glennys R. Farrar
Knowledge of the actual density distribution of matter in the local universe is needed for a variety of purposes, for instance as a baseline model for ultrahigh energy cosmic ray s…
Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +360
We present a novel approach for assessing the muon content of air showers with large zenith angles on a combined analysis of their radio emission and particle footprint. We use the…
Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray Production in Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Glennys R. Farrar
Having previously argued that binary neutron star mergers are the principle source of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays~\citep{fBNS-prl25}, we exploit here the highly constrained initia…
Scaler data from the Pierre Auger Observatory as a proxy of solar activity
C. Taricco, I. Bizzarri, C. Dionese +1
Solar activity variations strongly impact the modulation of the flux of low-energy Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) reaching the Earth. The secondary particles, which originate from the…
Search for UHE neutrinos from GRBs with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Yago Lema-Capeans
We report on the search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos from the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using Surface Detector (SD) data from Phase I of the Pierre Auger Observ…
