Between the Cosmic-Ray “Knee” and the “Ankle”: Contribution from Star Clusters
We show that massive, young star clusters may be possible candidates that can accelerate Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in the range of 10 ^7 –10 ^9 GeV (between the “knee” and “ankle”). Various plausible scenarios, such as acceleration at the wind termination shock and supernova shocks inside these you...
