Study of PeV neutrinos around dwarf galaxies near giant lobes of Centaurus A

The origin of recently discovered PeV neutrinos is an unsolved problem. In this work we consider a hadronic scenario to produce PeV neutrinos from a region around giant lobes of Centaurus A. Although ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are accelerated and confined by giant lobes, they can escape to be later injected in the inter-group medium where galaxies near the giant lobes provides the condition to confine them. UHECRs interact with low-energy photons and protons producing high-energy photons and neutrinos. We found that the IC35 event cannot be generated neither inside the giant lobes nor galaxies close to the lobes of Centaurus A.
