The Effects of Cosmic-Ray Protons on Galactic Nonthermal Filaments
Abstract The Galactic center (GC) contains a collection of filaments that are typically tens of parsecs in length, illuminated by synchrotron radiation from cosmic rays (CRs). The origin of these nonthermal filaments (NTFs) is unclear. We aim to distinguish two injection mechanisms: the first mechanism posits that NTFs...
