New Publication: “Different heating of Maxwellian and kappa distributions at shocks” by Michael Gedalin and Natalia Ganushkina September 15, 2022 - Ion heating in collisionless shocks is non-adiabatic and efficient. The amount of heating and the downstream distributions depend on the… Continue reading
New Publication: “The supernova remnant SN 1006 as a Galactic particle accelerator” by Roberta Giuffrida et al. September 6, 2022 - The origin of cosmic rays is a pivotal open issue of high-energy astrophysics. Supernova remnants are strong candidates to be… Continue reading
New Publication: “A Database of MMS Bow Shock Crossings Compiled Using Machine Learning” by Ahmad Lalti et al. August 24, 2022 - Identifying collisionless shock crossings in data sent from spacecraft has so far been done manually or using basic algorithms. It… Continue reading
New Publication: “Bulk Properties of Pickup Ions Derived from the Ulysses Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer Data” by William P. Smith et al. July 11, 2022 - Nonthermal, pickup ions (PUIs) represent an energetic component of the solar wind (SW). While a number of theoretical models have… Continue reading
New Publication: “Evidence for γ-ray emission from the remnant of Kepler’s supernova based on deep H.E.S.S. observations” by H.E.S.S. Collaboration June 20, 2022 - Observations with imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) have enhanced our knowledge of nearby supernova (SN) remnants with ages younger than… Continue reading
