Modeling the spectrum and composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays with two populations of extragalactic sources
Abstract We fit the ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray (UHECR, $$E\gtrsim 0.1$$ E ≳ 0.1 EeV) spectrum and composition data from the Pierre Auger Observatory at energies $$E\gtrsim 5\cdot 10^{18}$$ E ≳ 5 · 10 18 eV, i.e., beyond the ankle using two populations of astrophysical sources. One population, accel...
