Low-energy cosmic ray ionization rates in the Orion region scale with star formation rate as log10 ζ = (1.4±0.70)log10 SFR + (-10.5±2.9), supporting local generation by star formation.
Ionization rates in the envelopes of NGC-1333 IRAS4A, L1448-C, and L1157 reach 1e-16 to 1e-13 s^{-1}, far above the ISM baseline of 6e-17 s^{-1}.
