Centuarus A and the Pierre Auger Observatory

Presenter: Roger Clay (University of Adelaide)

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory will consist of two high energy astrophysics observatories with all-sky coverage at energies above 1019 eV. The southern site is now complete in Argentina and is already producing major astrophysical results. At a latitude of 35° south, the observatory is ideally placed to observe the direction of Centaurus A and has published sky maps which, subjectively, show a clustering of directions close to Centaurus A. This paper will disuss the significance and interpretation of results such as this.
