The Origin of the Most Energetic Galactic Cosmic Rays: Supernova Explosions into Massive Star Plasma Winds
We propose that the high energy Cosmic Ray particles up to the upturn commonly called the <i>ankle</i>, from around the spectral turn-down commonly called the <i>knee</i>, mostly come from Blue Supergiant star explosions. At the upturn, i.e., the <i>ankle</i>, Cos...
