42. Radio astronomy and the origin of cosmic rays
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
At present we can observe the origin of only the solar component of cosmic rays. The sun emits cosmic rays in connexion with flares and probably also continuously on a smaller scale. Thus the emission of cosmic rays appears to be connected much more closely with non-thermal radio emission than with thermal radiation of light and heat.
