Constraining the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with multi-messenger data

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are cosmic rays with energy exceeding 10¹⁸ electronvolts. The sources of these particles remain unknown despite decades of research. This thesis presents a series of studies aimed at constraining the sources of UHECRs both directly by studying their observed ar...
