Cosmic-ray electron propagation in the peculiar barred spiral galaxy NGC 2442
Face-on spiral galaxies offer a favorable geometry for studying magnetic-field structures and their impact on cosmic-ray propagation, as projection effects and structural overlap are significantly reduced. We aim to investigate the transport of cosmic-ray electrons (CREs) in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy NGC 2442 an...
