We predict the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays including their deflection in the Galactic magnetic field, for several combinations of source and composition hypotheses: the sources are hard X-ray AGNs or uniformly sample the…
A dipole anisotropy in ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) arrival directions, of extragalactic origin, is now firmly established at energies E > 8 EeV. Furthermore, the UHECR angular power spectrum shows no power at smaller angular scales…
We study the deflections of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays in several widely used models of the coherent Galactic magnetic field (GMF), including PT11 (Pshirkov et al. [1]), JF12 (Jansson and Farrar [2]), UF23 (Unger and Farrar [3]) and…
We evaluate the validity of leading models of the Galactic magnetic field for predicting UHECR deflections from Cen A. The Jansson-Farrar 2012 GMF model (JF12), which includes striated and random components as well as an out-of-plane…
The surprising isotropy of the ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) sky makes it difficult to identify their sources. Observables such as energy spectrum, mass composition and arrival directions are affected by interactions with background…
We present the results of a study that simulates trajectories of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from Centaurus A to Earth, for particle rigidities from $E/Z = 2$ EV to 100 EV, i.e., covering the possibility of primary particles as heavy as…
Since ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are electrically charged particles, they are deflected by magnetic fields. Those magnetic fields can act as lenses, altering their trajectories and (de)magnifying their apparent source images.…
Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) experience deflections as they traverse the Galactic magnetic field (GMF), which must be accounted for when tracing them back to their sources. After briefly summarizing our results on uncertainties in…
We calculate the arrival direction distribution of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with a new suite of models of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF), assuming sources follow the large-scale structure of the Universe. Compared to…

We have performed the detailed numerical simulations on the propagation of the UHE protons in the energy range $E=(10^{19.5} - 10^{22.0}$) eV in the relatively strong extra-galactic magnetic field with strength $B= (10, 100)$ nG within…
From deflections in galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields energy dependent structures in the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) are expected. We propose to characterize these structures by the strength of…
We study the influence of the random part of the Galactic magnetic field on the propagation of ultra high-energy cosmic rays. Within very mild approximations about the properties of the electron density fluctuations in the Galaxy we are…
We express the mean square deflections of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) caused by the random component of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF) in terms of the GMF power spectrum. We use recent measurements of the GMF spectra in…

We investigate the deflections of UHE protons by Galactic magnetic field(GMF) using four conventional GMF models in order to discuss the positional correlation between the arrival distribution of UHECRs and their sources. UHE protons coming…
A consequence of Liouville's theorem indicates that the recently observed large scale anisotropy in the arrival direction of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) cannot be produced by the Galactic magnetic field, thus this anisotropy…
We propose a new way to detect individual bright Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) sources above background if the Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF) gives the main contribution to UHECR deflections. This method can be directly applied to…
