There are many astrophysical sites associated with strong
magnetic fields
Pulsars, GRBs, Magnetars, AGNs, …, etc.
Such environments can lead to the acceleration of Energetic Protons!

High energy protons precessing along magnetic field lines emit synchrotron radiation.
When a particle is accelerated in an external field it can emit any quanta corresponding to the interactions of the particle.
Can emit: photons, gravitons, scalar and vector mesons, … EM Gravity Strong Interaction
