Testing large-scale (an)isotropy of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
Hylke B. J. Koers, Peter Tinyakov
We present a simple yet powerful method to test models of cosmic-ray (CR) origin using the distribution of CR arrival directions. The method is statistically unambiguous in the sen…
On the interpretation of the cosmic-ray anisotropy at ultra-high energies
D. S. Gorbunov, P. G. Tinyakov, I. I. Tkachev +1
A natural interpretation of the correlation between nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and the highest-energy cosmic rays observed recently by the Pierre Auger Collaboration is th…
On the relation between the neutrino flux from Centaurus A and the associated diffuse neutrino flux
Hylke B. J. Koers, Peter Tinyakov
Based on recent results obtained by the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO), it has been hypothesized that Centaurus A (Cen A) is a source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and…
Comment on "Correlation of the Highest-Energy Cosmic Rays with Nearby Extragalactic Objects"
Dmitry Gorbunov, Peter Tinyakov, Igor Tkachev +1
We argue that the data published by the Pierre Auger Collaboration (arXiv:0711.2256) disfavor at 99% confidence level their hypothesis that most of the highest-energy cosmic rays a…
Massive gravity and structure formation
Michael V. Bebronne, Peter G. Tinyakov
We study the growth of cosmological perturbations in the model of Lorentz-violating massive gravity. The Friedman equation in this model acquires an unconventional term due to the…
Is astronomy possible with neutral ultra-high energy cosmic ray particles existing in the Standard Model?
P. G. Tinyakov, I. I. Tkachev
The recently observed correlation between HiRes stereo cosmic ray events with energies E ~ 10 EeV and BL Lacs occurs at an angle which strongly suggests that the primary particles…
