Upper limits on the total cosmic-ray luminosity of individual sources

In this paper, upper limits on the total luminosity of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECR) E > 1018 eV) are determined for five individual sources. The upper limit on the integral flux of GeV - TeV gamma-rays is used to extract the upper limit on the total UHECR luminosity of individual sou...
