Scientific paper

The boundary-value problem for the cosmic-ray diffusion equation in a solar wind with an ellipsoidal boundary is solved for the case where the modulation region is characterized by a small departure from spherical symmetry. The solution is obtained as a series expansion in Legendre polynomials. The results indicate that, in comparison with the spherically symmetric case, the deformation of the modulation region leads to a larger cosmic-ray density gradient toward the tip of the ellipsoid that is closer to the sun and a smaller gradient toward the other tip.
