As a result, this can give rise to a new population of cosmic rays, additional to standard galactic cosmic rays present in star-forming galaxies. We investigate the impact of this tidal cosmic-ray population on the nucleosynthesis of lithium in interacting systems in the context of the cosmological lithium problem. Moreover we also demonstrate that the presence of these tidal shock-waves and may also have far reaching consequences on our understanding of galactic evolution and star formation history, by affecting the far-infrared radio correlation observed in star-forming galaxies.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Links to the papers: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013PhRvD..87j3014P" class="">http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013PhRvD..87j3014P</a><br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015MNRAS.453..638D" class="">http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015MNRAS.453..638D</a><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">If you’ve recently read interesting astrophysics paper and you want to present it, please contact me via e-mail: <a href="mailto:lceraj@phy.hr" class="">lceraj@phy.hr</a><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">See you on Wednesday.<br class=""><br class="">Cheers,<br class="">Lana</body></html>
