AbstractThe studied conjecture is that ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are hypothetical Planck neutrinos arising in the decay of the protons falling onto the gravastar. The proton is assumed to decay at the Planck scale into positron and four Planck neutrinos. The supermassive black holes inside active galactic nuclei, while interpreted as gravastars, are considered as UHECR sources. The scattering of the Planck neutrinos by the proton at the Planck scale is considered. The Planck neutrinos contribution to the CR events may explain the CR spectrum from 5 × 1018 eV to 1020 eV. The muon number in the Planck neutrinos-initiated shower is estimated to be larger by a factor of 3/2 in comparison with the standard model that is consistent with the observational data.

We discuss the relevance of gamma-ray observations of galaxy clusters, to unveil several issues that are relevant for Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics of cosmic structures: the nature of Dark Matter, the origin of cosmic rays and the impact of black holes.

The physical conditions in the centre of spiral galaxies as our own galaxy still are not very well known. They offer themselves to more or less exotic speculations, some of which involve the possible existence of black holes and mechanisms for the production of high energy cosmic rays. In view of such argumentations I feel it worthwhile to look in more detail into recent progress obtained in the understanding of the dynamics of the central region of spiral galaxies which turns out to be intimately related to the galaxy as a whole, especially its spiral structure.
