A Cosmic-Ray Composition Controlled by Volatility and A/Q Ratio. SNR Shock Acceleration of Gas and Dust

  • Chapter
The Advanced Composition Explorer Mission

Abstract

The composition of Galactic Cosmic Ray Sources (GCRS) shows the following features: (i) an enhancement of the refractory elements relative to the volatile ones, and (ii) an enhancement of the heavier volatile elements relative to the lighter ones; this mass dependence should reflect a mass-to-charge (A/Q) dependence of the acceleration efficiency; among the refractory elements, there is only a very weak enhancement of heavier species, or none at all. We consider it fortuitous that the GCRS composition resembles that of the solar corona, which is biased according to first ionization potential. In a companion paper by Ellison et al. (1998, this issue), this GCRS composition is interpreted in terms of a supernova shock wave acceleration of interstellar and/or circumstellar (e.g., 22Ne-rich Wolf-Rayet wind) gas phase and especially dust grain material. These two papers summarize and complement the content of two papers that recently appeared in Astrophys. J. (Meyer et al., 1997; Ellison et al., 1997).
