Descrição
Production of UHECR has been a great mystery in the last century, since the acceleration mechanism has not been understood completely. AGNs(Active Galactic Nuclei) can be among the astrophysical objects that could accelerate particles to ultra high energies. In this work the focus is the galaxy M87, which is a strong candidate to produce UHECR. Beside that, the presence of extragalactic and galactic magnetic fields make the identification of UHECR sources a difficult task. So, it will use CRPropa Code, to propagate particles from the source, using models of extragalactic and magnetic fields to obtain a possible energy flux coming from M87 and try to understand what is happening in the path through Earth.
