| Zusammenfassung |
| The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) observes enhanced ~ keV energy
Energetic Neutral Atoms (ENAs) from a narrow "ribbon" that stretches across
the sky and appears to be centered on the direction of the local interstellar
magnetic field. The Milagro collaboration, the Asγ collaboration and
the IceCube observatory have made global maps of TeV cosmic rays. This paper
provides links between these disparate observations. We develop a simple
diffusive model of the propagation of cosmic rays and the associated cosmic
ray anisotropy due to cosmic ray streaming against the local interstellar
flow. We show that the local plasma and field conditions sampled by IBEX
provide characteristics that consistently explain TeV cosmic ray
anisotropies. These results support models that place the interstellar
magnetic field direction near the center of the IBEX ribbon. |
