Thanks to advances in-ray astronomy and precise measurements of cosmic ray (CR) properties, the last decade has witnessed significant progresses in our understanding of the origin of Galactic CRs. In particular, GeV CRs have been associated with supernova remnants (SNRs) with soft-ray spectra, while there is evidence of efficient TeV CR acceleration in SNRs with hard-ray spectra. Nevertheless, no ultra-high-energy (>50 TeV)-ray emission has been detected from shocks of SNRs, implying their limited contributions to PeV CR fluxes. Most ultra-high-energy-ray sources detected so far can be associated with pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), that are known PeV electron/positron accelerators. Their contributions to PeV CRs are still a matter of debate. The Galactic center region and some star clusters, on the other hand, are known sources of PeV CRs. Detailed modelings of CR spectra and anisotropy show that the supernova that gave rise to the Geminga pulsar may have significant contributions to TeV CR fluxes, and PeV CRs should have significant contributions from source(s) in the direction of the Galactic center.
