The transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays: the high-energy end of the Galactic spectrum
P. Cristofari
Understanding the transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays (CRs) is essential to make sense of the Local cosmic ray spectrum. Several models have been proposed to acco…
Diffusive shock acceleration of dust grains at supernova remnants
P. Cristofari, V. Tatischeff, M. Chabot
Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) is a prominent mechanism for energizing charged particles up to very large rigidities at astrophysical collisionless shocks. In addition to ions…
The population of Galactic supernova remnants in the TeV range
Rowan Batzofin, Pierre Cristofari, Kathrin Egberts +2
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are likely to be significant sources of cosmic rays up to the knee of the local cosmic-ray (CR) spectrum. They produce gamma-rays in the very-high-energy…
Dark Matter Line Searches with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
S. Abe, J. Abhir, A. Abhishek +562
Monochromatic gamma-ray signals constitute a potential smoking gun signature for annihilating or decaying dark matter particles that could relatively easily be distinguished from a…
Cosmic-ray induced ionization rates and non-thermal emissions from nuclei of starburst galaxies
Vo Hong Minh Phan, Enrico Peretti, Pierre Cristofari +2
Cosmic rays are the only agent capable of ionizing the interior of dense molecular clouds and, thus, they are believed to play an essential role in determining the physical and che…
The galactic bubbles of starburst galaxies The influence of galactic large-scale magnetic fields
Z. Meliani, P. Cristofari, A. Rodriguez-Gonzalez +3
Context. The galactic winds of starburst galaxies (SBGs) give rise to remarkable structures on kiloparsec scales. However, the evolution and shape of these giant wind bubbles, as w…
Origin of Fe nuclei in cosmic rays: the contribution of local OB associations
Nicolas de Séréville, Vincent Tatischeff, Pierre Cristofari +2
The presence of live Fe nuclei (lifetime of 3.8~Myr) in cosmic rays detected by the ACE/CRIS instrument suggests a nearby nucleosynthesis source. Fe is primarily prod…
