Regimes of cosmic-ray diffusion in Galactic turbulence

P. Reichherzer et al.

Summary: Cosmic-ray transport is dominated by particle diffusion in a magnetic field in astrophysical environments. Fully resonant scattering, the most effective process, requires a wave spectrum covering the entire range of propagation angles. By considering the boundaries of the wave spectrum, we quantitatively describe the parallel and perpendicular diffusion of cosmic rays at turbulence levels above 5% of the total magnetic field. Applying our results to the Milky Way, we find that simple diffusive transport conflicts with observations in the inner Galaxy, but taking into account a Galactic wind can match the data in the central 5 kpc zone. Further comparison suggests that the outer Galaxy at >5 kpc should be dominated by perpendicular diffusion, possibly transitioning to parallel diffusion at the outermost radii.

Constraining leptonic emission scenarios for the PeVatron candidate HESS J1702-420 with deep XMM-Newton observations

L. Giunti et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to search for a hidden leptonic accelerator behind HESS J1702-420A, and constraints on the leptonic contribution to its TeV emission were derived from X-ray observations and HESS spectral energy distribution analysis. No object clearly associated with HESS J1702-420A was found in the X-ray data, but a newly discovered extended X-ray source possibly related to it was found.

Evidence of 100 TeV γ-ray emission from HESS J1702-420: A new PeVatron candidate

H. Abdalla et al.

Summary: The study provides an update on the unidentified source HESS J1702-420, a promising PeVatron candidate. The detection of high-energy gamma rays from HESS J1702-420A suggests the presence of PeV protons, making it one of the most solid PeVatron candidates detected so far in H.E.S.S. data.
