Latest precise cosmic-ray (CR) measurements and present gamma-ray observations have started challenging our understanding of CR transport and interaction in the Galaxy. Moreover, because the density of CRs is similar to the density of the…

We present new simulations of local star-forming disks that self-consistently evolve cosmic rays (CRs) and multiphase gas using TIGRESS++. To isolate the role of CRs, we conduct paired simulations under solar-neighborhood conditions: a…

A correct description of cosmic-ray (CR) diffusion in turbulent plasma is essential for many astrophysical and heliospheric problems. This paper aims to present physical diffusion behavior of CRs in actual turbulent magnetic fields, model…

We study the formation of galactic outflows from supernova explosions (SNe) with the moving-mesh code AREPO in a stratified column of gas with a surface density similar to the Milky Way disk at the solar circle. We compare different…

A major uncertainty in understanding the transport and feedback of cosmic-rays (CRs) within and beyond our Galaxy lies in the unknown CR scattering rates, which are primarily determined by wave-particle interaction at microscopic…

Cosmic rays (CRs) are a ubiquitous non-thermal component of the interstellar medium (ISM). A data-driven three-dimensional (3D) map of their distribution is essential for understanding CR transport and constraining the spatial distribution…

Galaxy formation simulations demonstrate that cosmic-ray (CR) feedback may be important in the launching of galactic-scale winds. CR protons dominate the bulk of the CR population, yet most observational constraints of CR feedback come from…

We present simulations of the multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM) at solar neighbourhood conditions including thermal and non-thermal ISM processes, star cluster formation, and feedback from massive stars: stellar winds, hydrogen ionising…

Massive, young stars are the main source of energy that maintains multiphase structure and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM), and without this "feedback" the star formation rate (SFR) would be much higher than is observed. Rapid…
