On the anisotropy of E 0 ⩾ 5.5× 10 19 eV cosmic rays according to data of the Pierre Auger Collaboration

The Pierre Auger Collaboration discovered, in a solid angle of radius about 18°, a local group of cosmic rays having energies in the region E0 ≥ 5.5 × 1019 eV and coming from the region of the Gen A radio galaxy, whose galactic coordinates are lG = 309.5° and bG = 19.4°. Near it, there is the Centaur supercluster of galaxies, its galactic coordinates being lG = 302.4° and bG = 21.6°. It is noteworthy that the Great Attractor, which may have a direct bearing on the observed picture, is also there.
