Abstract
A light on the origin of cosmic rays
There's a new lab for studying the origins of cosmic rays: our neighbor galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Astronomers are now making progress on this topic by examining the gamma rays that are produced when cosmic rays interact with gas or lower-energy photons. The H.E.S.S. Collaboration has detected three sources of gamma rays in a variety of forms in the galactic satellite to the Milky Way. The sources include the pulsar wind nebula of N 157B, the supernova remnant N 132D, and the superbubble 30 Dor C. Oddly, supernova 1987A was not detected.
