Cosmic ray acceleration in accretion flows of galaxy clusters
V. N. Zirakashvili, V. S. Ptuskin
Published 2018-07-31Version 1
We investigate acceleration of cosmic rays by shocks and accretion flows in galaxy clusters. Numerical results for spectra of accelerated particles and nonthermal emission are presented. It is shown that the acceleration of protons and nuclei in the nearby galaxy cluster Virgo can explain the observed spectra of ultra high energy cosmic rays.
