Scientific paper

The study of anisotropies of arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays made by Kiraly and White, which referred to large-scale effects, has been continued by searching for intensity enhancements on smaller angular scales around specific Galactic and extragalactic objects. The searches have included Galactic pulsars and supernova remnants as well as extragalactic supernovae, radio and X-ray sources, Seyfert galaxies and quasars. Although some statistical indications for directional correlations have been found, none of them is significant enough to give strong support to any specific model of the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.
