Abstract

The Pierre Auger Collaboration discovered, in a solid angle of radius about 18°, a local group of cosmic rays having energies in the region E 0 ≥ 5.5 × 1019 eV and coming from the region of the Gen A radio galaxy, whose galactic coordinates are l G = 309.5° and b G = 19.4°. Near it, there is the Centaur supercluster of galaxies, its galactic coordinates being l G = 302.4° and b G = 21.6°. It is noteworthy that the Great Attractor, which may have a direct bearing on the observed picture, is also there.
