We report the results of 3D simulations of the trajectories of ultra-high energy protons and Fe nuclei (with energies $E = 4 \times 10^{19}$ and $2.5 \times 10^{20} eV$) propagating through the galactic magnetic field from the sources to…

We construct a map of deflections of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by extragalactic magnetic fields using a magneto-hydrodynamical simulation of cosmic structure formation that realistically reproduces the positions of known galaxy clusters…
