	Fizikai Szemle 1999/1 - Arnold Wolfendale: Cosmic Rays
		The end of the last century saw many studies of the properties of ionizing radiations and the names of the most important practitioners, such as Becquerel, the Curie's and Röntgen are now part of the language of science.
		We (Erlykin and Wolfendale) claim to have identified a small "peak" at an abscissa of + 0.6.
		The Erlykin and Wolfendale energy spectra from the hypothesised local supernova remnant (SNR) [17].

		The Royal Society's premier lecture in the physical sciences, the Royal Bakerian Lecture, is to be given at Leeds by former Astronomer Royal Sir Arnold Wolfendale, on cosmic rays, what they are and where they come from.
		Sir Arnold Wolfendale has been a fellow of the Royal Society for 25 years and has had a lifelong interest in cosmic rays, which are the nuclei of atoms accelerated to high energies in, as yet unidentified, parts of the Universe.
		Even at low energies, however, their origin is subject to doubt and the higher one goes in energy the more uncertain their origin becomes, and the more problematical the particle masses.

	Evidence to Wolfendale
		In 1995, the UK Government asked the well known astronomer Sir Arnold Wolfendale to chair a survey of "science in public".
		The report is available at the home page of the Office of Science and Technology.
		One recommendation in the Wolfendale report was that the Office of Science and Technology (OST) should commission a 'guide to best practice' in communication.

	SPACE.com -- Cosmic Radiation Possible in Our Galaxy
		The list of sources for these super-charged particles may soon expand, thanks to the advanced computer modeling and the team of scientists led by Sir Arnold Wolfendale of Durham University in the UK.
		Their modeling found that the high-energy particles of cosmic rays could come from more common galactic events like hypernovae -- extremely large exploding stars -- and pulsars, which are collapsed rotating stars.
		Past research has speculated that intergalactic sources of high-energy radiation could be strong enough to burn the atmosphere, heat the oceans, and cause extinction in most every animal and plant kingdom on Earth.

		While most cosmic rays have relatively low energies and can safely be attributed to eruptions on the Sun and exploding stars in our Galactic back yard, high-energy cosmic rays like the one that arrived in Utah are in a completely different league.
		Wolfendale says that the magnetic field lines of colliding galaxies can intertwine and suddenly reconnect into a different pattern, setting up enormous electric fields.
		And in a paper to be published in this month's Journal of Physics G, Wolfendale and his colleagues report that two of the highest energy cosmic rays found to date coincide with a pair of colliding galaxies just 20 million light years away.

	Milky Way May Harbor High-Energy Cosmic Ray Sources
		The common view about the sources of these extra-galactic particles is that they come from very rare "exotic sources" -- for example, the decay of dark matter -- but Sir Arnold Wolfendale of Durham University and colleagues suggest an alternative scenario.
		For the first time, the researchers suggest that the highest energy particles may be produced by a more common source that is just as likely to be inside our galaxy as outside of it.
		Sir Arnold and colleagues used a computer model with only one dominant type of source, be it "super" supernovae -- the explosions of massive stars -- or pulsars, collapsed rotating stars.

	Spaceflight Now \| Breaking News \| Are galaxy clusters corrupting Big Bang echoes?
		If this primordial pattern has been corrupted by processes taking place in the recent past, long after galaxies and galaxy clusters formed, then it will, at best, complicate the interpretation of the microwave echo and, at worst, begin to undermine the previous evidence for both dark energy and cold dark matter.
		The WMAP team has already reported that their measurements of the Big Bang's microwave echo may have been compromised by the process of galaxy formation at an intermediate stage in the Universe's history.
		This release is based on the Paper, "Evidence for an Extended Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect in WMAP Data" by Adam Myers, Tom Shanks, Phil Outram, Bill Frith and Sir Arnold Wolfendale (Dept. of Physics, University of Durham), to be published on 1 February 2004 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 347, L67.

	South Pole pioneer to meet the press during Bartol's birthday, Oct. 27
		Naturally occurring magnetic fields in space--and their exotic interactions with high-energy particles--will be the focus of a 75th anniversary event for the Bartol Research Institute at the University of Delaware.
		The world's leading space plasma scientists--including former Bartol Director and Antarctic research pioneer Martin A. Pomerantz; Sir Ian Axford of Germany's Max-Planck Institute; and Sir Arnold W. Wolfendale of the University of Durham in the United Kingdom--will be on hand for the three-day event, Oct. 26-28.
		Pomerantz, the renowned South Pole explorer who launched Bartol's Antarctic research program some 40 years ago, plans a major announcement, to be disclosed during a press briefing at 11 a.m.
