Galactic magnetic deflections and Centaurus A as a UHECR source
Galactic magnetic deflections and Centaurus A as a UHECR source
We evaluate the validity of leading models of the Galactic magnetic field for predicting UHECR deflections from Cen A. The Jansson-Farrar 2012 GMF model (JF12), which includes striated and random components as well as an out-of-plane contribution to the regular field not considered in other models, gives by far the …
