Re-acceleration of non-thermal particles at weak cosmological shock waves
Hyesung Kang,Dongsu Ryu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, diffusive shock acceleration of pre-existing and freshly injected populations of non-thermal, cosmic-ray (CR) particles at weak cosmological shocks is examined.

Plasma electron signature of magnetic connection to the earth's bow shock - ISEE 3
TL;DR: In this paper, the bow-shock modified electron velocity distribution for upstreams was investigated using the Los Alamos ISEE 3 electron analyzer, and the velocity moments were determined, and a nearly isotropic component of back-streaming shock-heated electrons was found with energies at least as high as 1 keV.

Non-Thermal Insights on Mass and Energy Flows Through the Galactic Centre and into the Fermi Bubbles
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model of the star-formation-and resultant supernova-driven mass and energy flows through the inner ∼200-pc (in diameter) of the Galaxy is presented, constrained by the nonthermal radio continuum and γ-ray signals detected from the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maximum momentum of particles accelerated at cosmic ray modified shocks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided the first attempt at estimating the maximum momentum of a particle in the cosmic ray modified regime, taking into account the non-linear effects mentioned above.

On the radio polarization signature of efficient and inefficient particle acceleration in supernova remnant sn 1006
TL;DR: In this paper, a radio polarization study of supernova remnants is presented, based on combined Very Large Array and Australia Telescope Compact Array observations at 20 cm that resulted in sensitive images with an angular resolution of 10 arcsec, which strongly suggest that the ambient field surrounding SN 1006 is aligned with this direction (i.e., from northeast to southwest) and that the bright lobes are due to a polar cap geometry.
