Cosmic Clues from Amaterasu: Blazar-driven Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic Rays?

The detection of the Amaterasu event of energy 244 EeV by the Telescope Array, one of the most energetic ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs; E  ≳ 0.1 EeV) observed to date, invites scrutiny of its potential source. We investigate whether the nearby blazar PKS 1717+177 at redshift z = 0.137, locate...
