Scientific paper

Centaurus A has been one of the best studied radio galaxies, observed in radio, infrared, X-ray and gamma-ray. Cen A has been associated with two cosmic ray events with energies about 57 EeV by the Pierre Auger Observatory. By assuming the first peak in the continuous spectra comes from electron synchrotron emission and that the second peak comes from self-synchrotron Compton (SSC), we show that pp interaction could be responsible for the TeV emission and that the obtained cosmic ray rate is in agreement with Pierre Auger Observations.
