Recent measurements of cosmic-ray light nuclei by AMS-02 have shown that there is an unexpected component of cosmic-ray (CR) lithium whose spectral index is harder than that expected from the secondary production scenario. We propose the nearby Type Ia supernova following a nova eruption as the origin of lithium nuclei in the CRs. By fitting the data of CR protons, helium, and lithium fluxes provided by AMS-02 with our theoretical model we show that this scenario is consistent with the observations. The observational tests that can check our hypothesis are briefly discussed.

  1. Prediction of lithium isotope fluxes using data-driven production cross sections

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Adding heavy-progenitor lithium production with cross sections renormalized to measurements removes the AMS-02 lithium excess and predicts 6Li and 7Li fluxes consistent with preliminary data.
