Multi-messenger astronomy with Cen A?
+ 2 events correlated with Cen A within 3.1◦ + more events close-by
[Gorbunov et al. ’07, Fargione ’08, Rachen ’08 ]
+ general correlation with AGN − confusion with LSS? − no confirmation by HiRes − tension to PAO chemical composition − Emax for most AGN (incl. Cen A) high enough? correlations with AGN: independent/additional evidence? Cen A closest AGN ⇒ good test case for multi-messenger astronomy: accompanying γ-ray and neutrino fluxes?
