This illustration shows the connection between measurements of
the galactic center region from the H.E.S.S. observatory in the TeV energy range and the derived flux upper limit from the Pierre Auger Observatory in the EeV energy range.
Furthermore, particle flux upper limits are reported from selected candidate sources such as
the galactic center region.
