Do hyperdrives emit high-energy cosmic rays?

I know hyperdrives emit Cronau radiation but do they also emit cosmic rays? I ask because recently it was announced that scientists detected high energy cosmic rays with a ton of power. They are calling it the Amarestu particle (after the Japanese sun god) and it’s origin is a mystery. Some people joked that it’s given off from the engine of a warp drive; and it’s far-fetch’d but who knows?!

Is there any mention in Legends or Canon of a hyperdrive doing this, or is that not how hyperdrives work?

I don't recall any mention of that.

There's nothing about 'cosmic radiation' that distinguishes it from generic particle radiation. it's just called that because it comes from 'everywhere' in the cosmos, that's just how incredibly common it is.

So Cronau radiation could be a form of ultra-high energy comic rays?

Cronau radiation could be anything from radiaoctive gummy bears moving at the speed of lolipops to phase-shifted aircraft carriers made of dinosaur poop sitting still because it's completely made up.
