1 ON PROBABLE CONTRIBUTION OF NEARBY SOURCES TO ANISOTROPY AND SPECTRUM OF COSMIC RAYS AT TEV-PEV-ENERGIES SVESHNIKOVA L.G. 1, STRELNIKOVA O.N. 1, PTUSKIN V.S. 3 1 Lomonosov Moscow State University, SINP, Moscow, Russia 3 Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radi Wave Propagation, Troitsk,Moscow, Russia sws@dec1.sinp.msu.ru

2 Amplitude of anisotropy GOALS Galacies Nearby sources of cosmic rays determines: Anisotropy of cosmic rays at all energies T>100 лет, R>100 pc T>10 5 yr, R>1kpc Energy GeV, ГэВ Proton Anisotropy Electron spectrum of cosmic rays at TeV- energies Fine structure of cosmic rays at PeV - energies Fermi-Lat Electron Spectrum interpretation The goal is to analyze real nearby and young sources from gamma astronomy catalogs and to calculate the probable contribution of CR from them to anisotropy of cosmic rays and to spectrum of cosmic rays at TeV-PeV energies Contribution around the knee (Erlykin& Wolfendale)

3 MODEL OF CR FLUXES CALCULATION To calculate a flux and anisotropy of cosmic rays near the Earth we use a semi-statistical approach : all sources are divided in 2 groups. A simple flat-halo Galaxy model of cosmic ray transport with halo boundaries at Hz = 4 kpc and Rg= 15 kpc, the particle propagation is described in terms of Green s functions, F= G (t i,r i, E ): R id =(D(E)t i ) 1/2 G i (t i, r, E) i ( r ) 2 i exp 2 Rid Qi E E 4 (, max ) 2 4H Rid S i D= E 0.33 cm 2 /s Q=AE -2.2 with Emax cutoff 2) sources of the second group are distributed randomly in time (with a birth rate 1/50 yr) and space (with account for the arm structure of Galaxy). 1) the first group selected from gamma astronomy catalogs contains real nearby young sources within R<1.5 kpc and ages < T near. =10^5 yr.

4 ESCAPE TIME DEPENDENT EMISSION If it is possible to see simultaneously cosmic rays and gamma sources? We take into account that maximal energy of accelerated particles decreases with time of SNR evolution Propagation time to the Earth depends on energy: 1 SNR is located at R=1 kpc 1 PeV 100 TeV SNR shell life 0,1 F E 3 0,01 1 TeV 1E-3 [18] ] Ptuskin, V.S. & Zirakashvili, V.N. 2005, A&A, 429, 755 1E Propagation time (years)

5 POTENTIAL NEARBY SOURCES Two types of SN explosions: SN Ia without neutron star remnants, being seen only in radio and X-ray catalogs of SNR; Core collapsed SNII and SNIbc with neutron star remnants, that can be seen also in other pulsar or PWN catalogs. 1) Green s catalog of 274 including 174 SNRs with measured distances; 2) catalog of 54 PWNe; 3) Fermi-LAT catalog of 46 gamma-pulsars; 4) ATNF catalog of of 1827 pulsars; 5) catalog of TeV sources of HESS [14]. The total number of selected gamma ray sources with determined ages and distances is 25 sources inside the circle r i < R near =1.5 kpc (10 with R<1 kpc) with age t i < T near = 10 5 yr. Most of sources are seen in several catalogs. The expected number of sources at birthrate of SN explosions, 1/50 yr, coincides well with the found number of nearby and young sources.

7 METHOD OF ANISOTROPY CALCULATION We calculated dipole anisotropy amplitude and direction α (right ascension) in the approximation of isotropic diffusion. The experimental procedure of two-dimensional anisotropy calculation was reproduced: the variation of counting rate in fixed declination belts on sidereal time is investigated : (α, )= (n(α, )- <n( )>) /<n( )> in different declination belts the grid of declinations (with 10 o strip) and right ascension (with α= 1 hour strip). For every cell (α k, δ k (E, r, t, α k, δ k ) = { i=1, Nr (3*D/c) / r i (G (t-t i,r-r i, E)) [sin i sin k + cos i cos k cos(α i - α k ) ]}/F (E,r)

10 BASIC MODEL OF COMPOSITION AND EMAX OF GALACTIC SOURCES AT HIGH ENERGIES: Anisotropy at energy E depends on the number of sources being able to accelerate particles to energy E and on the diffusion coefficient D(E0/charge), so on chemical composition Four types of SNR havie different Emax: 1. Type Ia SNRs (Emax~4Z PeV) 25% sources are spread continuously in space and time 2. Type Ib/c SNRs (Emax~1Z PeV) 20% 4. Type IIb SNRs (Emax~600Z PeV) 3-5% 3. Type IIP SNRs (Emax~0.1Z PeV) <100 TeV V.

16 CONCLUSIONS We analyze real nearby and young sources from gamma astronomy catalogs and calculated the probable contribution of CR from them to anisotropy of cosmic rays and to spectrum of cosmic rays at TeV-PeV energies and above the knee.. Only one source Vela X- can give a significant contribution around TeV. But data on anisotropy imposed a limitation on a contribution of the Vela X remnant: it produces several times less CRs than an average shell in the Galaxy. A small anisotropy around the knee is explained by increase of heavy nuclei abundance through the knee and absence of the nearby source <500 pc being able to accelerate to 4 PeV. We do not see a good single candidate ( among known sources), that can give the noticeable contribution around the knee Class SN_Ia is a good candidate to knee producer due to small variety of explosion parameters. This model reproduces the fine structure of spectrum above the knee.
