In order to advance our understanding of the unknown sources of ultra high energy cosmic rays (the most energetic particles in space, propagating with a kinetic energy up to a few Joules, i.e. a single particle can carry the energy of an entire fast tennis ball) we need to model their deflection by intergalactic magnetic fields 🧲. Here a collection of a few #simulations.
