Journal ArticleDOI

The origin of cosmic rays: explosions of massive stars with magnetic winds and their supernova mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the observed properties are consistent with the predictions of particle acceleration in the supernova (SN) remnants in the magnetic wind of exploding Wolf-Rayet and red supergiant stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cosmic ray electrons and positrons from supernova explosions of massive stars.

TL;DR: It is shown that the recently discovered cosmic ray electron and cosmic ray positron excess components and their cutoffs to the acceleration in the supernova shock in the polar cap of exploding Wolf-Rayet and red supergiant stars, and this reasoning naturally explains the observations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coincident GRB neutrino flux predictions: Implications for experimental UHE neutrino physics

TL;DR: In this paper, the differences between a search for a diffuse signal and an examination of a source sample given by e.g. BATSE are analyzed, and it is shown that shape and normalization of the spectrum is highly dependent on the set of bursts used and that individual bursts can determine the total spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diffuse neutrino flux from FR-II radio galaxies and blazars: A source property based estimate

TL;DR: In this article, the neutrino flux from two kinds of active galactic nuclei (AGN) sources was estimated assuming pγ interactions in the jets of the AGN, and the result is highly dependent on the proton's index of the energy spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrinos from active black holes, sources of ultra high energy cosmic rays

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed AGN model was proposed to predict neutrino production near the foot of the jet, where the photon fields from the disk and synchrotron radiation from the jet itself create high optical depths for proton-photon interactions.
