A two-component Galactic source model with supernova remnants below 100 TeV and microquasars above, using charge-dependent cutoffs, accounts for cosmic-ray spectra, composition, and the all-particle spectrum up to PeV energies while ruling out nuclei-dependent cutoffs.

Microquasar Cygnus X-3 as the PeVatron powering the Cygnus Bubble
The Cygnus Bubble's ultra-high-energy gamma-ray emission above 400 TeV is physically more consistent with a microquasar halo around Cygnus X-3 than with the Cygnus OB2 star-forming region.

Two kinds of Galactic source populations could explain the cosmic-ray observation up to the "knee" region
A two-component Galactic source model with supernova remnants below 100 TeV and microquasars above, using charge-dependent cutoffs, accounts for cosmic-ray spectra, composition, and the all-particle spectrum up to PeV energies while ruling out nuclei-dependent cutoffs.
