The recent observations revealed that the cosmic-ray (CR) proton spectrum showed a complex structure: the hardening at $\rm \sim 200~GeV$ and softening at $\rm \sim 10~TeV$. However, so far the physical origins of this spectral feature…
In this work we aim at reproducing, simultaneously, the spectral feature at $\sim 10 \, \mathrm{TeV}$ in the cosmic-ray proton spectrum, recently reported by the DAMPE Collaboration, together with the spectral break at $\sim 1 \,…
We characterize the local (2-kpc sized) environments of Type Ia, II, and Ib/c supernovae (SNe) that have recently occurred in nearby ($d\lesssim50$ Mpc) galaxies. Using ultraviolet (UV, from GALEX) and infrared (IR, from WISE) maps of 359…
Recent gamma-ray observations reveal inhomogeneous diffusion of cosmic rays (CRs) in the interstellar medium (ISM). This is expected as the diffusion of CRs depends on the properties of turbulence, which can vary widely in the multi-phase…
The recent discovery of the so-called TeV halos has attracted much attention. The morphology of the emission requires that the region is characterized by severe suppression of the diffusion coefficient. This finding raises many questions as…
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…
We study the escape of cosmic-ray protons accelerated at a supernova remnant (SNR). We are interested in their propagation in interstellar medium (ISM) after they leave the shock neighborhood where they are accelerated, but when they are…
Nearby sources may contribute to cosmic-ray electron (CRE) structures at high energies. Recently, the first DAMPE results on the CRE flux hinted at a narrow excess at energy ~1.4 TeV. We show that in general a spectral structure with a…
Recent results from the HESS gamma ray telescope have shown the presence of both a diffuse, extended, flux of gamma rays above ~0.4 TeV and discrete sources in and near the Galactic Centre. Here, we put forward a possible explanation in…
Precise measurements of the energy spectra of cosmic rays (CRs) show various kinds of features deviating from single power-laws, which give very interesting and important implications on their origin and propagation. Previous measurements…
The propagation of cosmic-ray protons in the Galaxy is discussed under the framework of a three dimensional convection-diffusion model. Starting with the assumption of a uniform and continuous distribution of cosmic-ray sources injecting…
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…
Recent observations of cosmic ray protons in the energy range $10^2$--$10^5$~GeV have revealed that the spectrum cannot be described by a simple power law. A hardening of the spectrum around an energy of order few hundred~GeV, first…
We aim to elucidate cosmic ray (CR) propagation in the weakly ionized environments of supernova remnants (SNRs) basing our analysis on the cosmic ray cloud (CRC) model developed by \citet{2013ApJ...768...73M} and…
Data obtained in the ATIC-2 (Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter), CREAM (Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass)) and PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) experiments suggest that elemental interstellar…
We propose a model where a supernova explodes in some vicinity of our solar system (some tens of parsecs) in the recent past (some tens of thousands years) with the energy release in cosmic rays of order of $ 10 ^ {51} $ erg. The flux from…
Constraints on the diffusion and acceleration parameters in five young supernova remnants (SNRs) are derived from the observed thickness of their X-ray rims, as limited by the synchrotron losses of the highest energy electrons, assuming…
We study the high latitude (|b|>10) diffuse gamma-ray emission in the Galaxy in light of the recently published data from the Fermi collaboration at energies between 100 MeV and 100 GeV. The unprecedented accuracy in these measurements…
The H.E.S.S. collaboration revealed the presence of a very high energy (VHE) diffuse emission in the inner 100pc of the Galaxy in close correlation with the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). Recently, they deduced from this emission a…
Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) are believed to be accelerated at supernova remnant (SNR) shocks. In the hadronic scenario the TeV gamma-ray emission from SNRs originates from decaying pions that are produced in collisions of the interstellar…
