Scientific paper

On the basis of recent new information on regular and chaotic magnetic fields in coronae of spiral galaxies, the propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays of energies exceeding 10 to the 17th eV in the galactic corona is discussed. It is shown that the expected regular magnetic field is able to confine to the corona protons of energies up to 3 x 10 to the 19th eV. Chaotic magnetic fields of the corona play an important role in dynamics of cosmic-ray protons of energy up to 7 x 10 to 18th eV.
