Scientific paper

An analysis of the experimental data on nuclear gamma-ray lines from Cen A reveals essential energetic difficulties, associated with the usual interpretation of these lines as a result of interactions of subcosmic rays with interstellar gas; since the necessary instantaneous energy loss rate of the cosmic rays should reach tremendous values of about 1048_1049 ergs s'. These diffi- culties are eliminated if the gamma rays are produced in the relativistic non-isothermal plasma near a compact source of activity - such as a massive black hole or a magnetoid (spinar)
