Abstract:
In this paper we will present the results of the calculation of maximum energy gained by a particle in the acceleration process done by the black hole mechanism. We are using here the model of P.Biermann and H. Falcke to determine if and how the black holes contribute to the cosmic rays that reach the Earth. The conclusion is that at the highest energy only M87 contributes, as has been claimed for many years. Second, at lower energy, Cen A may indeed take over as second most important source, again as expected for some time. Rezultatele sunt importante pentru ca aduc confirmarea
