Predicted power in ultra high energy cosmic rays from active galaxies

Understand

Context: As more and more data are collected by cosmic ray experiments such as the Pierre Auger Observatory and Telescope Array (TA), the search for the sources of the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) continues.

• Already we have some hints about the sources or type of sources involved and more work is required to confirm any of this.
• Aims: We intend to predict the UHECR fluxes and the maximal energies of particles from two complete samples of nearby active galaxies, selected at radio and far-infrared frequencies.
• Also, we investigate the magnetic scattering of the UHECR path in the intervening cosmic space.
