Galactic Cosmic Rays from Supernova Remnants. II. Shock Acceleration of Gas and Dust
Galactic Cosmic Rays from Supernova Remnants. II. Shock Acceleration of Gas and Dust
We present a quantitative model of Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) origin and acceleration, wherein a mixture of interstellar and/or circumstellar gas and dust is accelerated by a supernova remnant blast wave. The gas and dust are accelerated simultaneously, but differences in how each component is treated by the shock leave a …
