The detection of astrophysical very high energy (VHE) neutrinos in the range of TeV-PeV energies by the IceCube observatory has opened a new season in high energy astrophysics. Energies ~PeV imply that the neutrinos are originated from sources where cosmic rays (CRs) can be accelerated up to ~ 10^{17}eV. Recently, we have shown that the observed TeV gamma-rays from radio-galaxies may have a hadronic origin in their nuclear region and in such a case this could lead to neutrino production. In this paper we show that relativistic protons accelerated by magnetic reconnection in the core region of these sources may produce VHE neutrinos via the decay of charged pions produced by photo-meson process. We have also calculated the diffuse flux of VHE neutrinos and found that it can be associated to the IceCube data.

Multi-messenger tests of cosmic-ray acceleration in radiatively inefficient accretion flows
Nearby low-luminosity active galactic nuclei with radiatively inefficient accretion flows should emit detectable MeV gamma rays and TeV-PeV neutrinos for future instruments, provided protons are accelerated with the a...
