However, evidence that SNRs do indeed accelerate cosmic rays to PeV-energies is elusive. The idea emerged that PeV-energies might only be reached during the very initial stages of a remnant’s evolution. Unfortunately, early gamma-ray emission is strongly attenuated by 𝛾𝛾 -absorption. Here, we investigate how the interaction of SNR-shocks with dense structures in the medium around luminous blue variable (LBV) and Red Supergiant (RSG) stars can boost the gamma-ray emission later. We use the time-dependent acceleration code RATPaC to study the acceleration of cosmic rays in supernovae expanding into dense environments around massive stars. We investigated typical parameters of the circumstellar medium (CSM) in the freely expanding winds and added dense structures that arise from episodes of highly-enhanced mass-loss of LBVs and photoionized shells around RSGs. We find that the interactions with the dense structures happens typically after a few months for LBV progenitors and a few years for RSG progenitors. During the interaction stage, the 𝛾𝛾 -absorption by photons emitted from the Supernova’s photosphere became negligible. The gamma-ray luminosity of the interacting SNRs can surpass the internal/unabsorbed peak-luminosity that arises shortly after the explosion. Further, the change of the shock-speed during the shock-shell interaction boosts the achievable maximum energy beyond a PeV for LBVs, where early interactions yield higher peak-energies.

By establishing a substantial source of non-thermal pressure support in the circum-galactic medium (CGM), cosmic-rays alter the phase structure and spatial distribution of gas in the CGM, with notable ensuing effects on the star formation histories of galaxies. However, these effects rely heavily on the transport rate of cosmic-rays from the interstellar medium (ISM) into the CGM, and there remain order-of-magnitude uncertainties in the value of the macroscopic cosmic-ray diffusion coefficient from different plausible physical models. To place constraints on these theoretical models, we use high-resolution, magneto-hydrodynamic, cosmological simulations of galaxy formation from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, and post process them with a novel code to compute the expected non-thermal synchrotron emission from the inner halo of these galaxies. By forward modeling the emission from simulations of galaxy formation which self-consistently evolve cosmic-rays, we are able to explore differences between models in non-thermal emission and place new constraints on models for cosmic-ray transport which may be investigated via future radio continuum observing missions.","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114154564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The characterization of this transition is important for understanding new physics phenomena proposed for Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) with center-of-mass energies above 50 TeV. In this study, we conducted air-shower simulations using CORSIKA to investigate the energy range from just below the ankle (10 17 eV) up to the highest energies (10 20 eV), and compared our results with observations of the energy spectrum and composition obtained from the Auger experiment. To determine the flux and elemental ratios just below the ankle, we used data on the abundances and flux of low-energy cosmic ray components obtained from the KASCADE experiment. Due to confinement arguments, heavier nuclei exhibit greater bending in a given source and Galactic magnetic field, allowing them to reach higher energies for a given accelerator class. To account for this, we incorporated an exponential suppression term in the flux of heavier nuclei, which depends on their atomic number. Regarding extragalactic cosmic rays, we assumed a composition dominated by lighter elements; however, we also considered the presence of \"new physics\" effects at energies above 50 TeV, as discussed in our previous work Romanopoulos, Pavlidou, and Tomaras (2022) . Our analysis demonstrates that the observed penetration depth ( 𝑋 max ) and its standard deviation ( 𝜎 𝑋 max ) align well with our modeling of a Galactic CR composition below the ankle. Additionally, we found that the proposed new physics at a center-of-mass energy of 140 TeV requires a cross-section in the range of 752-836 mb and a multiplicity factor 1.7-3.6 times higher than predicted by the standard model","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127653377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The efficient particle acceleration at the shocks of SNRs is indirectly confirmed by the detection of non-thermal emission across the whole electromagnetic spectrum from radio to very-high-energy gamma-rays. About 80% of all SNRs originate from core-collapse events and are expected to expand into a complex environment of the stellar wind bubble blown up by their progenitor stars, where the forward shock might interact with various density inhomogeneities. Such interactions would cause the formation of reflected shocks propagating back into the remnant which can potentially be strong enough to accelerate particles. Current investigations of particle acceleration in SNRs are usually limited to forward and reverse shocks ignoring the complexity of the hydrodynamic picture. Although for most SNRs the observed shell-like morphology generally agrees with an idea that high energy particles originate predominantly from the forward shock, precise spatially resolved measurements do not always agree with this simplified picture. This work is focused on the investigation of particle acceleration at the reflected shocks formed through the interaction of the forward shock with density inhomogeneities and its potential impact on the overall observational properties.","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127057236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
