Funded Activity Summary
Revealing Cosmic-Ray Accelerators with Gamma-Ray and Millimetre Radio Observations. Australia plays a pivotal role in studies of the Universe at extreme energies, via experiments studying the highest energy particles known as cosmic-rays. This project will combine the diverse fields of gamma-ray and radio astronomy to understand where these cosmic-rays in the Milky Way come from. Australian radio telescopes in tandem with an Australian supported high energy gamma-ray telescope offer the best chance to tackle this 100 year old problem. The project will generate a new look at our Milky Way disrupted by extreme objects such as exploding stars, and, provide a new science and high technical training opportunity for Australian researchers to tackle a fundamental problem in nature.Funded Activity Details
