Abstract: The propagation of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays in the galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields is investigated. The motion of charged particles of different energies and chemical composition is simulated using different galactic magnetic field models. Positions for the real sources’ of the events registered at the Auger Observatory are calculated taking into account the influence of both galactic and extragalactic turbulent fields. The possibility of their correlation with the Centaurus A radio galaxy is analysed. |
