Pulsars have been invoked to explain the origin of recently observed high-energy Galactic cosmic-ray positrons. Since the positron propagation distance decreases with energy, the number of pulsars that can contribute to the observed…
Data from the Voyager probes have provided us with the first measurement of cosmic ray intensities at MeV energies, an energy range which had previously not been explored. Simple extrapolations of models that fit data at GeV energies, e.g.…
I review latest results from AMS on electrons and positrons in primary cosmic rays in the GeV to TeV energy range. Separate fluxes for electrons and positrons as well as their sum are presented. Neither of the fluxes is compatible with a…
We present the results of new calculations of the energy spectra of cosmic ray electrons, positrons and also positron fraction under assumption that both electrons and positrons are generated by the same Galactic sources, which accelerate…
Low energy cosmic rays are modulated by the solar activity when they propagation in the heliosphere, leading to ambiguities in understanding their acceleration at sources and propagation in the Milky Way. By means of the precise…
Recent measurements of cosmic-ray electron and positron spectra at energies from a GeV to 5 TeV, as well as radio, X-ray and a wide range of gamma-ray observations of pulsar-wind nebulae, indicate that pulsars are significant sources of…
The local interstellar spectrum of cosmic ray electrons and positrons from 0.8 GeV to 2 TeV is derived by demodulating the measured spectra by balloon and satellite experiments. It can be well represented by a single power law in kinetic…
High energy cosmic ray electrons and positrons probe the local properties of our Galaxy. In fact, electromagnetic energy losses limit the typical propagation scale of GeV-TeV electrons and positrons to a few kpc. In the diffusion model,…
We perform a consistent modeling of cosmic ray electrons, positrons and of the radio emission of the Galaxy. For the time we reproduce all relevant data sets between 1 GeV and 1 TeV including the recent AMS-02 positron fraction results. We…
Recent measurements of the cosmic-ray electron plus positron spectrum by several experiments have confirmed the presence of a break at $\sim\,1$ TeV. The origin of the break is still not clearly understood. In this work, we explore…
The direct measurements of electrons and positrons over the last 30 years, corrected for the solar effect in the force-field approximation, are considered. The resulting overall electron spectrum may be fitted with a single power law above…
Despite significant progress over more than 100 years, no accelerator has been unambiguously identified as the source of the locally measured flux of cosmic rays. High-energy electrons and positrons are of particular importance in the…
The total cosmic ray electron spectrum (electrons plus positrons) exhibits a break at a particle energy of $\sim 1\rm~TeV$ and extends without any attenuation up to $\rm \sim 20~ TeV $. Synchrotron and inverse Compton energy losses strongly…
Context: Features in the spectra of primary cosmic rays (CRs) provide invaluable information on the propagation of these particles in the Galaxy. In the rigidity region around a few hundred GV, such features have been measured in the proton…
The acceleration of cosmic ray particles and their propagation in the Milky Way and the heliosphere tangle with each other, leading to complexity and degeneracy of the modeling of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). The recent measurements of the…
Context: The relation between Galactic cosmic-ray electrons, magnetic fields and synchrotron radiation. Aims: We exploit synchrotron radiation to constrain the low-energy interstellar electron spectrum, using various radio surveys and…
The unprecedented quality of the data collected by the AMS-02 experiment onboard the International Space Station allowed us to address subtle questions concerning the origin and propagation of cosmic rays. Here we discuss the implications…
The cosmic ray energy spectra of protons and helium nuclei, which are the most abundant components of cosmic radiation, exhibit a remarkable hardening at energies above one hundred GeV/nucleon. Recent data from AMS-02 confirms this feature…
Using Leaky Box Model propagation calculations for H nuclei and a Monte Carlo diffusion propagation model for electrons, starting from specific source spectra, we have matched the observed LIS spectra of these cosmic rays measured by…
With experimental results of AMS on the spectra of cosmic ray (CR) $e^{-}$, $e^{+}$, $e^{-}+e^{+}$ and positron fraction, as well as new measurements of CR $e^{-}+e^{+}$ flux by HESS, one can better understand the CR lepton ($e^{-}$ and…
