摘要

This work presents a scenario of ultra-high energy cosmic ray source distribution where a nearby source is solely responsible for the anisotropies in arrival directions of cosmic rays while the rest of the sources contribute only isotropically. An analytical approach focused on large-scale anisotropies, which are influenced by deflections in a Kolmogorov-type turbulent magnetic field, is employed to provide more general results. When the recent Pierre Auger Observatory angular power spectrum above 8 EeV is used the restricted model gives, under the assumption of the small angle approximation, a solution where the RMS deflection with respect to the line of sight is α_(rms) = (50_(-10)~(+11))°, while the relative flux from the single source η = 0.03 ± 0.01. Furthermore, the solution can be translated into constraints on the source distance, luminosity, and extra-galactic magnetic field strength. For Centaurus A and the Virgo cluster the required relation between the coherence length and the RMS magnetic field strength is obtained: a coherence length of ~ 100 kpc would imply the RMS field strength around 1 nG for iron dominated and above 10 nG for proton dominated composition. We also performed trajectory simulations with our publicly available code CRPropa to show that our analytical model can serve as a good approximation as long as the deflections in cosmic magnetic fields can be described as a random walk. The simulations showed that generally structured fields tend to suppress large-scale anisotropies, especially the dipole, compared to anisotropies at smaller scales described by higher multipoles.
