Many attempts have been made to provide catalogs of potential sources of ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) particles based on various astronomical tracers, such as observed radio or gamma-ray emission. A closer look reveals, however, that they all suffer from significant bias and selection effects. We present here a demo-version of a catalog for one often-discussed UHECR source class, radio galaxies (or radio-loud AGN), which is based on a complete theoretical description of jet-energetics, particle acceleration physics, relativistic beaming effects and nuclear composition, parametrized by a comprehensible set of adjustable physical quantities. In addition to the bright radio galaxies Centaurus A, Virgo A, Fornax A and Cygnus A discussed in previous work, we find several sources with blazar-like properties that can contribute on a similar level if relativistic beaming effects are considered. We present a simple method to test the basic properties of the catalog for any choice of parameters (without the need to run expensive simulations), and find that in the canonical case the anisotropy signals expected from radio galaxies promise to be in good agreement with current observational findings. In particular, radio galaxies can reproduce almost exactly the direction of the dipole above 8 EeV detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory if we assume that extragalactic magnetic fields are strong (>1nG) only in structures, but very weak in voids. We plan to provide a completed and improved version of this catalog in electronic form, to be used in more detailed UHECR propagation simulations. For immediate applications, we suggest a complete set of 16 strong UHECR sources which can contribute to UHECR anisotropy on the level which can be currently probed by experiment, and note that 6 of them have not been considered in any previous studies.

钱德拉和XMM-牛顿对ECDF-S的超深观测使人们能够搜索扩展的X射线发射,其通量达到前所未有的$2\times10^{-16}$尔格s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$。我们提出了搜索的空间尺度上的32 $^{\prime\prime}$在钱德拉和XMM数据,覆盖0.3平方度和模型的弧分尺度上的扩展发射。我们提出了一个目录的46光谱确定的群体,达到红移1.6。结果表明,ECDF-S的统计性质,如logN-logS和X射线光度函数与LCDM基本一致,但dn/dz/$Ω$检验表明,ECDF-S中$0.2<z<0.5$的红移范围是稀疏分布的.然而,由于附近结构的缺乏,使得在X射线和透镜中研究高红移群特别容易,因为聚集的前景水平较低。我们提出了星系群的一点和两点统计以及弱透镜分析,以表明所检测到的低光度系统确实是低质量系统。我们验证的适用性之间的标度关系的X射线光度和总质量的组,来自COSMOS调查,以较低的质量和较高的红移探测ECDF-S通过堆叠弱透镜和聚类分析,约束任何可能的偏差在30%的质量。节录。
