Supernova remnants are believed to be a major source of cosmic-rays in the Galaxy. As their progenitors are commonly found clustered in OB associations, one has to consider the possibility of collective effects in the acceleration process.…

The hypernovae (HNe) associated with Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) may have a fairly steep energy-velocity distribution, i.e., $E(\geq \beta)\propto \beta^{-q}$ for $q<2$ and $\beta\geq \beta_o$, where $\beta$ is the velocity of the material and…

The intracluster medium (ICM) is expected to experience on average about three passages of weak shocks with low sonic Mach numbers, $M\lesssim 3$, during the formation of galaxy clusters. Both protons and electrons could be accelerated to…

Context. Supernova remnants (SNR) are one of the main sources of galactic cosmic rays acceleration. This acceleration, believed to happen at the blast wave front, leads to an energy loss at the shock front. This results in the apparent…
