Description
Stellar clusters are promising candidate sources of the most energetic cosmic rays produced in our Galaxy. Diffusive shock acceleration is expected to be efficient at the wind termination shock of the wind bubble inflated by these objects. Cosmic ray interactions in the wind bubble well as in the surrounding medium lead to the production of hadronic secondaries. Indeed, recent observations by HAWC, Tibet AS-gamma, and LHAASO have identified 0.1-1 PeV gamma-ray emission coincident with nearby stellar clusters. Here, we investigate the corresponding neutrino emission and the prospects for observation in neutrino telescopes.
