Cosmic rays of extremely high energies and pulsars
Tóm tắt
Extensive air showers with energy above 4×1019 eV that were detected at the Yakutsk array from 1974 to 2001 are analyzed. The directions of their arrival are found to correlate with pulsars located in the direction of the Orion Arm of the Galaxy. The origin of cosmic rays is discussed.
