New Experimental Data and What It Tells Us About the Sources and Acceleration of Cosmic Rays

Webber, W. R.

This paper summarizes new data in several fields of astronomy that relate to the origin and acceleration of cosmic rays in our galaxy and similar nearby galaxies. Data from radio astronomy shows that SNRs, both in our Galaxy and neighboring galaxies, appear to be the sources of most of the accelerated electrons observed in these galaxies. Gamma-ra…
