The Random Magnetic Field of the Milky Way

Michael Unger, Glennys R. Farrar

We constrain the large-scale isotropic random component of the Galactic magnetic field using the Planck reconstruction of the 408 MHz synchrotron sky. Our analysis simultaneously f…

The Galactic Magnetic Field and UHECR Deflections

Michael Unger, Glennys R. Farrar

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) experience deflections as they traverse the Galactic magnetic field (GMF), which must be accounted for when tracing them back to their sources…

The large-scale anisotropy and flux (de-)magnification of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays in the Galactic magnetic field

Teresa Bister, Glennys R. Farrar, Michael Unger

We calculate the arrival direction distribution of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with a new suite of models of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF), assuming sources follow t…

Impact of the Magnetic Horizon on the Interpretation of the Pierre Auger Observatory Spectrum and Composition Data

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +364

The flux of ultra-high energy cosmic rays reaching Earth above the ankle energy (5 EeV) can be described as a mixture of nuclei injected by extragalactic sources with very hard spe…

Where Did the Amaterasu Particle Come From?

Michael Unger, Glennys R. Farrar

The Telescope Array Collaboration recently reported the detection of a cosmic-ray particle, "Amaterasu", with an extremely high energy of eV. Here we investigate…

The Coherent Magnetic Field of the Milky Way

Michael Unger, Glennys R. Farrar

We present a suite of models of the coherent magnetic field of the Galaxy (GMF) based on new divergence-free parametric functions describing the global structure of the field. The…
