Abstract
In the last two or three decades it has become clear that the origin of cosmic rays is related to major astrophysical phenomena, such as the activity in supernovae and their remnants, pulsars and violent events in extragalactic systems. These phenomena are characterized by the presence of large amounts of non-thermal energy in the form of magnetic fields and relativistic particles.
