局部星际电子宇宙射线光谱
摘要
我们考虑过去 30 年校正了太阳效应后,对电子与正电子的直接测量结果。 resulting overall electron spectrum may be fitted with a single power law above few GeV with spectral index (), consistent with the spectral index of the positron spectrum (), therefore suggesting a common acceleration process for both species. We propose that the engine was a shock wave originating from the last supernova explosion among those that formed the local bubble. In addition, at low energy, the electron spectrum measured during the last solar phase is damped, whereas the positron spectrum is well represented by a single power law down to the lowest inferred local interstellar energy (0.8 GeV). We suggest that this difference arises from a time- and charge-dependent effect of the solar modulation that is not taken into account by the force-field approximation.
