Interaction of escaping cosmic rays with molecular clouds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2014
Abstract
The study of the gamma–ray radiation produced by cosmic rays that escape their accelerators is of paramount importance for (at least) two reasons: first, the detection of those gamma–ray photons can serve to identify the sources of cosmic rays and, second, the characteristics of that radiation give us constraints on the way in which cosmic rays propagate in the interstellar medium. This paper reviews the present status of the field.
