Identifying patterns on cosmic ray maps with wavelets on the sphere
Keywords:
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays, Magnetic bendingAbstract
The deflection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays depends on the shape of the injection spectrum of the source and the pervasive cosmic magnetic fields. In this work it is applied the wavelet transform on the sphere to search for energy ordered filamentary structures arisen from magnetic bending. These structures, the so-called multiplets, can bring relevant information concerning the intervening magnetic fields.
