Item Energetic Particles of Cosmic Accelerators I: Galactic Accelerators(2019-03-11) Venters, Tonia M.; Hamaguchi, Kenji; Brandt, Terri J.; Ajello, Marco; Blumer, Harsha; Briggs, Michael; Coppi, Paolo; D'Ammando, Filippo; Becker, Michaël De; Fields, Brian; Guiriec, Sylvain; Hewitt, John W.; Humensky, Brian; Hunter, Stanley D.; Li, Hui; Lien, Amy Y.; Longo, Francesco; Marcowith, Alexandre; McEnery, Julie; Ojha, Roopesh; Pavlidou, Vasiliki; Prescod-Weinstein, Chanda; Santander, Marcos; Tomsick, John A.; Wadiasingh, Zorawar; Walter, RolandThe high-energy universe has revealed that energetic particles are ubiquitous in the cosmos and play a vital role in the cultivation of cosmic environments on all scales. Energetic particles in our own galaxy, galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), engage in a complex interplay with the interstellar medium and magnetic fields in the galaxy, giving rise to many of its key characteristics. This White Paper is the first of a two-part series highlighting the most well-known high-energy cosmic accelerators and contributions that MeV gamma-ray astronomy will bring to understanding their energetic particle phenomena. The focus of this white paper is galactic cosmic rays, supernova remnants, protostellar jets and superbubbles, and colliding wind binaries.
