Resumen:
We examine the correlation between compact radio quasars (redshifts in the range z = 0:3{2:2) and the arrival direction of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays forming clusters. Our Monte Carlo simulation reveals a statistically signi cant correlation on the AGASA sample: the chance probability of this effect being less than 1%. The implications of this result on the origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are discussed.z = 0:3{2:2) and the arrival direction of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays forming clusters.
