Exploring the superwind mechanism for generating ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays using large-scale modeling of starbursts

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

The Pierre Auger Collaboration has provided a compelling indication for a possible correlation between the arrival directions of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and nearby starburst galaxies. Herein we show how the latest large-scale modeling of starburst galaxies is compatible with the cosmic rays producing the anisotropy signal being accelerated at the terminal shock of superwinds.
