Understanding the physical mechanisms that control galaxy formation is a fundamental
challenge in contemporary astrophysics. Recent advances in the field of astrophysical …

Classical novae are cataclysmic binary star systems in which the matter of a companion star
is accreted on a white dwarf,. Accumulation of hydrogen in a layer eventually causes a …

Collisionless shock waves in supernova remnants and the solar wind heat electrons less
effectively than they heat ions, as is predicted by kinetic simulations. However, the values of …

We present a survey of 1D kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of quasi-parallel nonrelativistic
shocks to identify the environments favorable for electron acceleration. We explore an …

We present the serendipitous detection of a new Galactic supernova remnant (SNR), G288.
8–6.3, using data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) …

The process that allows cosmic rays (CRs) to escape from their sources and be released
into the Galaxy is still largely unknown. The comparison between CR electron and proton …

Cosmology models predict that external accretion shocks form in the outer region of galaxy
clusters owing to supersonic gas infall from filaments and voids in the cosmic web. They are …

Supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to produce the majority of galactic cosmic rays
(CRs). SNRs harbor non-relativistic collisionless shocks responsible for the acceleration of …

Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) of particles at collisionless shocks is the major accepted
paradigm about the origin of cosmic rays (CRs). As a theory, it was developed during the …

Collisionless shocks tend to send charged particles into the upstream, driving electric
currents through the plasma. Using kinetic particle-in-cell simulations, we investigate how …
