Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays Detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory: First Direct Evidence, and its Implications, that a Subset Originate in Nearby Radiogalaxies

Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays Detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory: First Direct Evidence, and its Implications, that a Subset Originate in Nearby Radiogalaxies

(abridged) The Pierre Auger Collaboration has reported 27 Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Events (UHECRs) with energies above 56 EeV and well determined arrival directions as of 2007 August 31. They find that the arrival directions are not isotropic, but instead appear correlated with the positions of nearby AGNs. Our aim …
