Correlation of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays with nearest sources

Abstract

Propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays of different chemical composition from Centaurus A and Virgo A is modeled. Correlation possibility of events registered by AUGER and AGASA observatories with these two nearest to the Solar system objects is analyzed. Calculated results for the different galactic magnetic field models are compared.
