Scientific paper

The motion of a large (greater than about 100 Mpc radius) volume of local matter with respect to the frame in which the thermal cosmic background radiation appears isotropic is shown to produce a contribution to anisotropy in the arrival directions of the highest energy (greater than 10 to the 19th) cosmic rays. The magnitude of the effect predicted is approximately 1%, below that currently observed and below the sensitivity of present experiments.
