Abstract
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are considered as one of the most appropriate sources of cosmic rays with energy exceeding ~10 eV. Virgo A (M87 or NGC 4486) is the second closest to the Milky Way active galaxy. According to existing estimations it can be a prominent source of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR). However not many events have been registered in the sky region near Virgo A, possibly due to magnetic field influence.
