On the possibility of separating out the contribution of the Vela source to the flow of high-energy cosmic-ray particles.
Abstract
Calculations are made of the contributions of some nearest and youngest sources of cosmic rays (supernova remnants) to the hadron spectrum in the energy region of a "kink" at 3 PeV and the electron spectrum in the energy region ≥1 TeV. It is shown that the dominant contribution in these regions is expected to be made by the Vela source.
