Description
Stereoscopic fluorescent observations by the High Resolution Fly's Eye detector revealed correlations between arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and positions of distant BL Lac type objects (Gorbunov et al. 2004, Abbasi et al. 2005). They implied the existence of non-deflected particles travelling for cosmological distances, hard to explain within standard physics and astrophysics. These correlations have not been conclusively tested with independent data. Here, we present the results of such testing performed with the Telescope Array data set.
