We study the proton flux expected from sources of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) in the presence of regular extragalactic magnetic fields. It is assumed that a local source of ultra-high energy protons and the magnetic field are all…

We discuss the relation between the acceleration spectra of extragalactic cosmic ray protons and the luminosity and cosmological evolution of their sources and the production of ultra high energy cosmogenic neutrinos in their propagation…
Millimeter CO(1-0) interferometry and high resolution, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) 1.1, 1.6, and 2.2 micron imaging of the radio compact galaxy PKS 1345+12 are presented. With an infrared luminosity of 2x10^{12} L_sun, PKS 1345+12 is a…
A review of the status of the knowledge in the field of High-energy cosmic particles is presented. The spectrum, arrival direction distribution and composition measurements are summarized, together with some implications for the…
Particle acceleration in the inner ~ 200 pc of the Galaxy is discussed, where diffuse TeV gamma-rays have been detected by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) observation. The diffuse gamma-ray emission has a strong correlation with…
The intense star formation in starburst galaxies results in the formation of intense winds that sweep matter up to several kpc out of the galactic plane. These winds can be detected in many bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this…
Suppose that even the highest energy cosmic rays (CRs) observed on Earth are protons accelerated in local Milky Way Galaxy sources, with few if any from more distant sources. In this paper we treat the problem that supernovae remnants…
In the past year, the HiRes and Auger collaborations have reported the discovery of a high-energy cutoff in the ultra-high energy cosmic-ray (UHECR) spectrum, and an apparent clustering of the highest energy events towards nearby active…
Recent accurate measurements of cosmic-ray (CR) protons and nuclei by ATIC-2, CREAM, and PAMELA reveal: a) unexpected spectral hardening in the spectra of CR species above a few hundred GeV per nucleon, b) a harder spectrum of He compared…
I propose a new mechanism for explanation of nonthernal X-ray emission of large-scale AGN jets. Namely, I assume that this radiation has synchrotron origin emitted by extremely high energy protons, and discuss implications of this model for…
The origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays promises to lead us to a deeper understanding of the structure of matter. This is possible through the study of particle collisions at center-of-mass energies in interactions far larger than…
The IceCube experiment has recently reported the first observation of high-energy cosmic neutrinos. Their origin is still unknown. In this paper, we investigate the possibility that they originate in active galaxies. We show that hadronic…
PKS B2152-699 has radio power characteristic of sources that dominate radio feedback. We present new deep ATCA, Chandra and optical observations, and test the feedback model. We report the first high-resolution observations of the radio…
The broadband emission observed from radio galaxies, BL Lac objects and quasars is thought to be produced by energetic electrons confined in plasma blobs which are ejected from supermassive black holes at relativistic speeds. The lower…
We present UV rest frame spectra of 3 powerful narrow line radio galaxies and the hyperluminous type 2 active galaxy SMM02399-0136, all at high redshift (z>2). We find high velocities (FWHM>1000, km/s) in the extended gas of all objects. A…
We point out a possible association of high-velocity molecular gas with the Galactic Center Radio Lobe (GCL). A molecular spur in the eastern GCL ridge is receding at $\Vlsr \sim +100$ \kms, and the western spur approaching at $\Vlsr \sim…
A hard $\gamma$-ray spectrum of supernova remnant G106.3+2.7 can be explained by using the hadronic model with the gluon condensation effect. This implies that not only PeVatrons but also EeVatrons generally exist in the universe including…
We analyze the conditions that enable acceleration of particles to ultra-high energies, ~10^{20} eV (UHECRs). We show that broad band photon data recently provided by WMAP, ISOCAM, Swift and Fermi satellites, yield constraints on the…
We study the deflection of ultra high energy cosmic ray protons in different models of the regular galactic magnetic field. Such particles have gyroradii well in excess of 1 kpc and their propagation in the galaxy reflects only the large…
