Description
The arrival directions of cosmic rays are significantly influenced by the Galactic and and extragalactic magnetic fields, especially for a heavy mass-composition of the primary particles. Following recent studies, we assume a heavy mass-composition of primary particles at the highest energies, pure iron nuclei above $10^{19.6}$ eV, and explore the arrival directions of such particles using the UF23 models of the galactic magnetic field. Considering nearby active galactic nuclei and starburst galaxies as their sources, we analyze the resulting patterns in their arrival directions on Earth with particular attention to the large-scale dipole anisotropy as well as the emergence of medium-scale anisotropies.
