2 Abstract: Ultra high energy cosmic rays were discovered over forty years ago (Linsley 1963). The first prediction has been that due to in- teraction with the microwave background their spectrum should show a turn-down near 5 1019 eV (Greisen 1966, Zatsepin & Kuzmin 1966): this has now been confirmed by both HiRes and Auger (ICRC Mexico 2007). While many sites of origin have been proposed, only one argument demonstrated that protons of order 1021 eV are required in a source region to ex- plain observations, specifically the ubiquitous turnoff in the optical synchrotron spectrum near 3 1014 Hz (Biermann & Strittmatter 1987); this argument led to the second prediction that radio are sources of ultra high en- ergy cosmic rays, one rare and specific class of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Some other classes of AGN have been discounted already

3 (Becker et al. 2007). However, since radio galaxies are rare, the near isotropy of arrival directions on the sky shows that the particles suffer occasionally substantial scattering along their path; in order to avoid a substantial in- crease in the path-length to us, this scattering has to happen near to our : presumably all disk galaxies have a magnetic halo-wind, as supported by dynamo arguments and radio ob- servations (Hanasz et al. 2004 +; Chy˙zy et al., 2000 +; Kulsrud & Zweibel 2007); our Galaxy has a wind (Westmeier et al 2005); and quasar absorption lines show absorption by clouds in a halo-wind to very large distances from galaxies (Williger et al. 2006, and Weymann et al.). In a magneto-hydrodynamic wind (Parker 1958) the dominant magnetic field is Bφ ∼ 1/r, al- lowing large bending; this wind is probably highly irregular. Therefore a third prediction

4 is that ultra high energy particles show a dis- tribution function of their bending angle from source to us, which is a highly pointed func- tion, with a core of a few degrees (from the hot disk of the Galaxy), and steep tails for large bending from the wind. The jet-disk symbiosis picture (Falcke et al. 1995 +) or the spin-down model (Blandford & Znajek 1977) allow to pre- dict maximum particle energy and maximum particle flux from such radio galaxies, and this yields a fourth prediction. The origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays has now been traced to active galactic nuclei (Auger-Coll. 2007). This is consistent with the second prediction. The third and fourth predictions remain to be tested.

Figure 1 All-particle cosmic ray spectrum from many earlier experiments. Filled cir- cles at the highest energies are recent results from Auger (ICRC 2007), clearly showing the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff, which is due to the interaction with the cosmic mi- crowave background. Clearly the particle energies require revision and rescaling. This is the spectrum to explain, and the strongest radio galaxies can provide an explanation.

6 • Linsley (1963): Detection of first event > 20 ∼ 10 eV - uncontainable in magnetic field of Galaxy • Prediction (1966) of GZK-turnoff near 5 × 1019 eV due to in- teraction with the cosmic microwave back- ground (MWBG: Greisen, Zatsepin & Kuzmin; sometimes called GZK-cutoff). • Turnoff seen by HiRes (2005) and AUGER (ICRC 2007, Mexico), and so prediction confirmed • Now many events near and beyond 5×1019 eV – nearly isotropic (Stanev et al. Phys. Rev. Letters 1995) and yet many correlations with BL Lac type active galactic nuclei claimed = low power radio galaxies, aiming their relativistic jet at us

7 Basics of active galactic nuclei

Figure 2 A sketch of the cylindrically symmetric AGN. The cut shows the r - z-plane, both axes logarithmically scaled to 1 pc, with the black hole at the center providing the symmetry. The basic constituents are the central BH with a surrounding accretion disk, the jet perpendicular to the disk and the torus encircling this configuration. The dark patches in the torus indicate the clouds, made up by stellar winds in the concept proposed (Zier & Biermann 2001, 2002).

Figure 3 This figure illustrates the change of the direction of the spin of the BH, induced by the merger of 2 massive BHs, and consequently the change of the direction of the jet. Basically the orbital spin wins over the two intrinsic spins. The left panel shows the situation before the merger, when the jet is aligned with the individual spin of the primary black hole of the binary system (Zier & Biermann 2001, 2002).

10 Physics of active galactic nuclei • Almost all galaxies have a central super- massive black hole • Super-massive black hole mass distribution 6 9 from about 10 M to about 3 10 M , with 8 break of slope near 10 M • Activity defined as non-stellar: All super- massive black holes appear to have activity, very few have strong activity: observable in radio emission, and/or emission lines • This activity appears to be always visible in a weak compact radio jet, and in broad emission lines (sometimes only in polarized light, so scattered photons) • Two color diagram of the total fluxes of galaxy plus AGN at 2 keV, 60 micron, and 5 GHz:

11 • Seyfert galaxies, quasars, radio galaxies, and normal and starburst galaxies are clearly separated (Chini et al. 1989): • with Seyfert galaxies and quasars showing a lot more X-ray emission, and radio galaxies showing additionally a lot more radio emis- sion, than normal and starburst galaxies • Activity episodic, driven by minor (merging with another galaxy without a central black hole) and major mergers (merging with an- other galaxy, also with a central black hole) • Merging activity began early, far beyond 6.4 (800 million years in the con- cordance cosmology): already then black 9 holes with > 10 M ; after redshift 1.5 - 2 merging activity rapidly decreases • Luminosities up to about 1047 erg/s

12 • Highest photon energy observed about 10 TeV • Shortest variability time scale minutes • Highest deduced Lorentz factor for the rel- ativistic jet: 40 • Luminosity function of activity similar shape to mass function, a powerlaw steepening to a steeper slope at some characteristic power • Such behavior typical for multiple merger or agglomeration process, shallow power- law until a maximum, and a much steeper law beyond that (Press & Schechter, Silk & Takahashi, ...); the break is then a function of time • Question on final spin of merged supermas- sive black hole

> 7 Figure 5 The sky in black holes, ∼ 10 M : Aitoff projection in galactic coordinates of 5,978 candidate sources in the case of a complete sub sample (the Galactic plane remains obscured). The choice was made from a complete sample of 10,284 candidate brighter than 0.03 Jy at 2 micron, and selected at z< 0.025; this uses the 2 micron all sky survey, limited in a 20 degree band in the Galactic plane. Normal and starburst galaxies were counter-selected using color and FIR/radio ratio (Biermann & Fricke 1977, Kronberg et al. 1985, Chini et al. 1989, and other work). These candidate sources are probably all black holes, with masses near to or above 107 solar masses; the black hole mass was determined with the black hole versus mass spheroidal stellar population correlation, and tested. The color code is Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Red corresponding to betwen 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025: Caramete et al. 2008

14 • Stellar analogon: microquasars or Gamma Ray Bursts, black holes with relativistic jets; black hole masses from 3 - 10 solar masses • Most noticeable activity from accretion disk, broad line region, and relativistic jet; often shading by torus covering more than half of 4π, if it exists • X-ray emission probably from Inverse Comp- ton emission near foot of jet • Observations strongly influenced by rela- tivistic boosting, and so aspect angle • Gamma ray emission visible best from boosted sources, when the compact jet dominates the overall emission

15 • Eddington limit (radiation limited infall, or instability in atmosphere): radiation in ultra- violet 46 8 LEdd ' 10 (MBH/10 M ) erg/s • Disk can be thought of as similar to atmo- spheres of upper main sequence , so with radiation driven instabilities: Broad line clouds? The disk emission obeys the Eddington limit • In mergers three spins are involved, two in- trinsic spins, and orbital spin, orbital spin will win, lead to a spin-flip • Phase with two super-massive black holes, and anisotropic torques: Torus geometry, and absorption by red giant winds? • Z-shaped, super-disk and X-shaped radio galaxies: time sequence in merger?

16 • Strongest interaction with ambient mate- rial after spin-flip, when the jet plows in different direction through fresh gas clouds • Knots (shocks) and final hot spot (shock) accelerate particles to ultra high energy • Jet embedded in shear flow around itself, observable in radio polarization; radio lobe boundary sheath; shear flow in surround- ing large scale filament baryonic accretion flow (into sheet, and along sheet to super- cluster): strong scattering of particles? 3 4 • First shock around about 3 10 to 10 Rg

13 8 Rg = 1.5 10 (MBH/10 M ) cm

• Maximum particle energy at first shock limited by photon interaction and synchrotron losses: strong neutrino emission

17 • In case of spin-flip of central black hole, through binary black hole merger, limita- tion additionally by p-p collisions: strong neutrino emission • Last shock where flow goes subsonic, hot spot in strong radio galaxies (Cyg A), and or last strong knot in less powerful radio galaxies (e.g. M87, 3C31, 3C449): last shock has low or no adiabatic losses! • Probably source of ultra high energy cosmic rays observed • Ultra high energy cosmic rays possibly scat- tered in the three surrounding shear flows near the radio galaxy • For observer distributed source possible

19 • Cutoff in nonthermal spectrum ν? observed in many radio galaxies since 1976 (Rieke et al. 1976+ Nature ; Bregman et al. 1981 Nature ; Stocke et al. 1981 Nature ; Meisen- heimer & R¨oser 1986+ Nature ): feature of acceleration of protons to 1021 eV, shown by Biermann & Strittmatter (1987 Astro- phys. J. ): • Protons get accelerated in shock, reach loss limit, establish wave field of irregularities in magnetic plasma, non-linear cascading • Cascade equation: ! d  I(k)  1 ∂ k4 ∂  I(k)  2 − 2 2 = S(k) dt 4πk k ∂k 3τk ∂k 4πk (1) wave-numer k = 2π/rg , Larmor-radius rg = E/(eB), time scale of diffusion of turbulent energy τk , source term S(k).

20 • Electrons get accelerated in shock, scatter in given wave field, go to loss limit, produce cut-off in non-thermal emission spectrum, maximal frequency: ν? ' 3 × 1014 Hz (2)

• This translates to loss limit  ? 1/2 20 νe −1/2 Ep,max ' 1.4×10 eV B 3.1014 Hz (3) • B typically 10−2 to 10−4 Gauß; spatial limit 21 1/2 near 10 L46 eV (Falcke et al. Astron. & Astroph. 1995). Therefore 21 Ep,max ' 1.4 × 10 eV (4)

• Independent of intensity of the turbulence, shock speed, etc.; dependence via magnetic field on parameters with the 1/7-power

21 • Prediction: Radiogalaxies sources at ener- gies > 1020 eV! lower energy jet-sources: gamma ray bursts, microquasars, jet-supernovae

• Nearby candidates (Ginzburg & Syrovatskii 1963 Astron. Zh.; before discovery of UHE- CRs): radio galaxies

• Events are not isotropic: • However, very few radio galaxies are viable • All black holes in our cosmic neighborhood extremely anisotropic in their distribution: no known and identified sub-class of sources (low power radio galaxies, Seyfert galaxies, Liners, ..) , which would explain the arrival distribution of the events on the sky • Therefore, bending of orbits required for consistency • What is the distribution of bending angles θ (A.

33 • Our galaxy should have a wind: Many pa- pers by Parker from the 1960ies to 1990ies (also cf. Biermann & Davis 1960) • Our galaxy has an observed wind, head- tail structure of high velocity clouds (West- meier et al. 2005 Astron. & Astroph. ). Many other galaxies have a magnetic wind (Cracow group). Quasar absorption lines show absorption by clouds to very large dis- tances from galaxies (Williger et al. 2006 Astrophys. J. , and Weymann et al.) • The Parker’s (1992) cosmic ray driven wind confirmed in simulations (Cracow group) • At high energy only single or very few scat- terings, scattering angle θ distribution (A. Curut¸iu)

34 Simulation of correlations • Test in Auger paper was to identify with active galactic nuclei from the V´eron-Cetty catalogue. • Using a Monte-Carlo approach we can re- peat the exercise with a) a source list (L. Caramete), b) a flux prediction (I. Dut¸an), and c) a scattering model (A. Curut¸iu). • We can then also differentiate between the Auger sky and the HiRes sky. • Result favors radio galaxies, selected at 5 GHz and with steep spectrum, using their compact components for estimating the power in ultra high energy cosmic rays, and adopt- ing the point of view, that spin-down (I. Dut¸an) or accretion mode (O. Ta¸sc˘au)are key to understanding the powering of the jet, hot spots and cosmic ray acceleration.

38 Prediction 4: Test on source spectra

• All sky samples of radio sources, active galac- tic nuclei • Using jet-disk symbiosis concept (Falcke et al. 1995 +) or spin-down model (Blandford & Znajek 1976 +; Dut¸an et al. 2005) to pre- dict maximal particle energy, and maximal flux of ultra high energy cosmic rays • Take each event and rank plausible sources with predicted UHECR-flux divided by an- gular distance squared, and then take the top as ”source” – uses probability • So check on scattering distribution; allow for extended source, central shift, and tem- poral variability • Check on source spectrum vs prediction

44 Key Concepts • Quantitative theory: Radio galaxies able to produce particles to 1021 eV: Test: Scatter- ing distribution and spectra (spin-down vs current accretion) • Disk galaxies: Magnetic winds: Scattering: Point spread function with steep tails • Correlation with V´eron-Cetty & V´eron cat- alogue (2006) reproduced • Ultra high energy cosmic rays from last shock in jet • All only consistent with the assumption: Protons - but injection plasma physics? • Neutrino emission beamed and from first shock in jet near black hole • Neutrino emission from recently merged black holes with spin-flip
