Abstract:
The arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays for energies $E>10^{18}$ eV detected at the Yakutsk EAS array is analyzed using the Marr wavelet. Deviation from the isotropic distribution of 361 showers above $10^{19}$ eV is found at a significance level of 0.007, which corroborates previous evidence of the cosmic ray anisotropy in this energy range. In contrast to the previous methods, the wavelet analysis makes it possible to localize both a celestial-sphere domain containing a supposed source of excess cosmic ray flux and the scale parameter of the two-dimensional wavelet.
