Resumen:
We derive lower bounds on the density of sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from the lack of significant clustering in the arrival directions of the highest energy eventsdetected at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The density of uniformly distributed sources ofequal intrinsic intensity was found to be larger than aprox(0.06 - 5) × 10^-4 Mpc^-3 at 95%CL, depending on the magnitude of the magnetic deflections. Similar bounds, in the range(0.2 - 7) × 10^-4 Mpc^-3, were obtained for sources following the local matter distribution.
