Supernova remnants are believed to be the main sources of galactic Cosmic Rays (CR). Within this framework, particles are accelerated at supernova remnant shocks and then released in the interstellar medium. The mechanism through which CRs…

The spatial diffusion of energetic particles in a magnetic field composed of a large-scale background and a small-scale turbulent component should be expected to be anisotropic. While such anisotropic diffusion has been known for quite a…

Cosmic rays (CRs) with energies $\ll$ TeV comprise a significant component of the interstellar medium (ISM). Major uncertainties in CR behavior on observable scales (much larger than CR gyroradii) stem from how magnetic fluctuations scatter…

Supernova remnants (SNRs) are one of the most energetic astrophysical events and are thought to be the dominant source of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs). A recent report on observations from the Fermi satellite has shown a signature of pion…

Subsonic, compressive turbulence transfers energy to cosmic rays (CRs), a process known as non-resonant reacceleration. It is often invoked to explain observed ratios of primary to secondary CRs at $\sim \rm GeV$ energies, assuming wholly…

We investigate how cosmic rays (CRs) affect thermal and hydrostatic stability of circumgalactic (CGM) gas, in simulations with both CR streaming and diffusion. Local thermal instability can be suppressed by CR-driven entropy mode…
