✦ Synopsis

A possible correlation between the arrival directions of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays by using EAS array data and point galactic sources of radio and gamma radiations, pulsars, has been considered. At mean cosmic rays energy of ~ 101~ eV, a correlation between their arrival directions and pulsars located in the direction of the Local Arm of the Galaxy is found. According to our estimations, the chance probability is 2x10 -4 . The obtained results are discussed.

The arguments suggesting an association between the sources of cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are presented. Recent GRB and UHECR observations are shown to strengthen these arguments. Predictions of the GRB model for UHECR production, t

We briefly summarize our study on anisotropy of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic-Rays (UHECRs), in which we define a statistics that measures the correlation between UHECRs and Large Scale Structure (LSS). We also comment here on recently published paper by Koers and Tinyakov that compared our statistics to
