Galactic winds constitute a primary feedback process in the ecology and evolution of galaxies. They are ubiquitously observed and exhibit a rich phenomenology, whose origin is actively investigated both theoretically and observationally.…
Cosmic-ray (CR) diffusion is the result of the interaction of such charged particles against magnetic fluctuations. These fluctuations originate from large-scale turbulence cascading towards smaller spatial scales, decomposed into three…
We investigate galactic winds driven by supernova (SN) explosions in an isolated dwarf galaxy using high-resolution (particle mass $m_{\rm gas} = 1{\rm M_\odot}$, number of neighbor $N_{\rm ngb} = 100$) smoothed-particle hydrodynamics…
We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CRs) on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in FIRE-2 simulations, for ultra-faint dwarf through Milky Way (MW)-mass halos hosting star-forming (SF) galaxies. Our CR treatment includes injection by…
Large-scale coherent magnetic fields observed in the nearby galaxies are thought to originate by a mean-field dynamo. This is governed via the turbulent electromotive force (EMF, $\overline{\mathcal{E}} $) generated by the helical…
The transport of energetic particles such as Cosmic Rays is governed by the properties of the plasma being traversed. While these properties are rather poorly known for galactic and interstellar plasmas due to the lack of in situ…
We explore several aspects related to the propagation of high energy cosmic rays (CRs) of galactic origin (i.e. in the range $E\simeq 10^{15}- 10^{18}$ eV). In particular, we study in detail the diffusion/drift scenario, a…
Numerical simulations shed light onto earlier not trackable problem of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. They allowed to test the predictions of different models and choose the correct ones. Inevitably, this progress calls for revisions…
Cosmic ray (CR) transport and acceleration is essential for many astrophysical problems, e.g., CMB foreground, ionization of molecular clouds and all high energy phenomena. Recent advances in MHD turbulence call for revisions in the…
The origin of cosmic rays (CRs) has puzzled scientists since the pioneering discovery by Victor Hess in 1912. In the last decade, however, modern supercomputers have opened a new window on the processes regulating astrophysical…
Astrophysical plasmas are turbulent and magnetized. The interaction between cosmic rays (CRs) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is a fundamental astrophysical process. Based on the current understanding of MHD turbulence, we revisit…
We present a hydrodynamical simulation of the turbulent, magnetized, supernova (SN)-driven interstellar medium (ISM) in a stratified box that dynamically couples the injection and evolution of cosmic rays (CRs) and a self-consistent…
From our radio observations of the magnetic field strength and large-scale pattern of spiral galaxies of different Hubble types and star formation rates (SFR) we conclude that - though a high SFR in the disk increases the total magnetic…
Recent precise measurements of cosmic ray (CR) spectra show that the energy distribution of protons is softer than those of heavier nuclei, and there are spectral hardenings for all nuclear compositions above $\sim$200 GV. Models proposed…
We review the evolution of the interstellar medium in disc galaxies, and show, both analytically and by numerical 3D hydrodynamic simulations, that the disc-halo connection is an essential ingredient in understanding the evolution of star…
Galactic winds from star-forming galaxies play at key role in the evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium. They transport metals out of galaxies, chemically-enriching the inter-galactic medium and modifying the chemical…
Weakly collisional, magnetised plasmas characterised by anisotropic viscosity and conduction are ubiquitous in galaxies, halos and the intracluster medium (ICM). Cosmic rays (CRs) play an important role in these environments as well, by…
Cosmic rays (CRs) are tracers of solar events when they are associated with solar flares, but also galactic events when they come from outside our solar system. SEPs are correlated with the 11-year solar cycle while GCRs are anti-correlated…
We study diffusion of Cosmic Rays (CRs) in turbulent magnetic fields using test particle simulations. Electromagnetic fields are produced in direct numerical MHD simulations of turbulence and used as an input for particle tracing, particle…
Based on the ``cannonball model'' for gamma-ray bursts of Dar and De Rujula it is proposed that masses of baryonic plasma (``cannonballs''), ejected in bipolar supernova explosions in our Galaxy are the sources of hadronic Galactic cosmic…
