Scientific paper

It is suggested that supernovae are not the only sources of cosmic rays in the Galaxy, i.e., that dwarf novae, red dwarfs, young massive stars, etc. should also be considered as cosmic-ray sources. The decision as to whether a star or star system is a source of cosmic rays should be made according to data on particle acceleration mechanisms. Of particular interest in this respect are close binary systems, where magnetic mechanisms of particle acceleration can arise. Data on close binaries are rather sparse; they neither confirm nor deny that cosmic rays with energies up to 10 to the 15th eV are generated in such systems (e.g., U Gem).
