Watch Live Webcast: Cosmic Rays and Exploding Stars

Scientists have know about cosmic rays for a century. But these high-energy subatomic particles, which stream through space at nearly the speed of light and crash into the Earth’s upper atmosphere, have been mostly a mystery. The primary reason: researchers ... [Published Universe Today - Feb 28 2013]

"I'm actually hoping we can talk the experimental community into using their model," Cabrera adds. "It's important to get everyone to agree to use the same parameters so we're comparing apples to apples instead of apples to oranges."

"We're in the process of making our simulations shine, so they can be compared with observations," McKinney said, "not only to test our ideas of how these disks and jets work, but ultimately to test general relativity."

...ago," said Elizabeth Hays, a member of the research team and Fermi deputy project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "Now we have conclusive proof supernova remnants, long the prime suspects, really do accelerate cosmic rays to incredible speeds."

...rays were generated in supernova remnants," said Jerry Ostriker, an astrophysicist from Columbia University who was not involved in the study. "The direct detection of pion-decay signatures in supernova remnants closes the loop and provides dramatic observational evidence for a significant component of cosmic rays."
