Abstract (from CDS):

A set of potentially γ-ray-loud BL Lac objects is selected by intersecting the EGRET and BL Lac catalogs. Of the resulting 14 objects, eight are found to correlate with arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), with significance of the order of 5 σ. This suggests that γ-ray emission can be used as a distinctive feature of those BL Lac objects that are capable of producing UHECRs.
