Cosmic rays of leptons from Pulsars and Supernova Remnants
Abstract
The latest results from PAMELA and FERMI experiments confirm the necessity to improve theoretical models of production and propagation of galactic electrons and positrons. There are many possible explanations for the positron excess observed at energies larger than 10 GeV and for some features around 1 TeV in the total flux of electrons and positrons. Supernovae are astrophysical objects with the potential to explain these observations. In this work, we present an updated study of the astrophysical sources of lepton cosmic rays and the possible and the possible explanation of the anomalies in terms of astrophysical sources.
