Pulsed galactic nuclei and the origin of cosmic rays

The possibility that a series of explosions of the galactic nuclei every 5 m.y. yr can cause a substantial flux of cosmic ray particles at the vicinity of the earth is investigated. The steady flux of cosmic radiation forces the conclusion that there have been explosions back to 1 b.y. yr if this is...

Description
Summary:The possibility that a series of explosions of the galactic nuclei every 5 m.y. yr can cause a substantial flux of cosmic ray particles at the vicinity of the earth is investigated. The steady flux of cosmic radiation forces the conclusion that there have been explosions back to 1 b.y. yr if this is a dominant source of cosmic rays.
