Radio Properties of Pinwheel Nebulae
TL;DR: In this article, a radio survey of IR-bright Wolf-Rayet stars was conducted to test the hypothesis that colliding winds lie at the heart of all dusty WR systems.

Enhanced shock acceleration in relativistic jets and cosmic ray origin in active galactic nuclei
J. J. Quenby,Richard Lieu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical simulation of the diffusive shock acceleration process when the flow is relativistic was performed and the acceleration rate was found to be ∼13.5 times faster than the previous values used, which were based on an analytical approximation.

Fermi I particle acceleration in converging flows mediated by magnetic reconnection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possibility of particles to be accelerated in a magnetic reconnection layer by interacting only with the incoming flows, and derive analytical estimates for the particle energy distribution, acceleration rate, and maximum energies achievable in these flows.

Acceleration of Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays in Starburst Superwinds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that if starbursts are sources of UHECRs, then particle acceleration in the large-scale terminal shock of the superwind that flows from the starburst engine represents the best known concept model in the market.
