The UHECR dipole and quadrupole in the latest data from the original Auger and TA surface detectors

Peter Tinyakov, Luis Anchordoqui, Teresa Bister +13

The sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are still unknown, but assuming standard physics, they are expected to lie within a few hundred megaparsecs from us. Indeed, over cosmo…
