Cosmic Rays as the Source of Galactic Radio Emission

  • Chapter
Classics in Radio Astronomy

Part of the book series: Studies in the History of Modern Science ((SHMS,volume 10))

Abstract

It has lately become evident that the galactic radio emission cannot basically be explained by thermal emission from interstellar electrons, as has been previously suggested (e.g., see the review paper by Unsöld [1]). Thus, it is particularly worthwhile considering the idea that the galactic radio emission is due to bremsstrahlung of relativistic electrons (i.e., of the electron component of the cosmic radiation) in interstellar and circumstellar magnetic fields [2, 3].

Translated from the Russian in Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR, 76, 377 (1951) by E. R. Hope (translation T 132 R of the Defence Scientific Information Service (Canada), 1954, with modification).
