This means the cosmic rays do not come uniformly from all directions; there is a direction from which the rate is higher. The anisotropy is significant at 5.2 standard deviations (a chance of ...

OF the several effects of modulation of cosmic rays which are solar in origin the ... term and day to day characteristics of the diurnal anisotropy is of prime relevance in the development of ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from outer space that strike Earth's atmosphere, generating showers of secondary ...

Somewhere in our galaxy are engines capable of driving atomic fragments to velocities that come within a whisker of ...

The mystery object, known as ASKAP J1832- 0911, is located within the Milky Way about 15,000 light-years away from Earth.

Astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), in collaboration with international teams, ...

"This is an important result, as we can conclude that the measured CRe [cosmic ray electrons] most likely originate from very few sources in the vicinity of our own solar system, up to a maximum ...

Ever since French physicist Pierre Auger proposed in 1939 that cosmic rays must carry incredible amounts of energy, scientists have puzzled over what could be producing these powerful clusters of ...

the Pierre Auger Collaboration has discovered an anisotropy, which is the difference in the rate of cosmic ray arrivals depending in which direction you look. This means the cosmic rays do not come ...

The article, titled "Observation of a large-scale anisotropy in the arrival directions of cosmic rays above 8 × 1018 eV", notes that studying the distribution of the cosmic ray arrival directions ...
