The meaning of the UHECR Hot Spots: A Light Nuclei Nearby Astronomy

Understand

In this paper we review all the up-to-date Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) events reported by AUGER, by Telescope Array (TA) and by AGASA in common coordinate maps.

• We also confirm our earliest (2008-2013) model, where UHECR are mostly made by light nuclei (namely He, Be, B), which explains the Virgo absence and confirms M82 as the main source for North TA Hot Spot.
• Many more sources, such as NGC253 and several galactic ones, are possible candidates for most of the 376 UHECR events.
• Several correlated map, already considered in recent years, are then reported to show all the events, with their statistical correlation values.
