Description

Results are presented that were obtained by analyzing arrival directions for cosmic rays recorded by the Yakutsk array between 1974 and 2001 in the energy range E0 = 1017.6-17.9 eV for zenith angles in the region θ ≤ 53 deg. It is shown that their flux consists of two components - an isotropic (about 75%) and a cluster (about 25%) one - that are characterized by sharply different degrees of anisotropy. At E0 1017.7-17.8 eV, the observed showers are found to be strongly correlated with the Supergalaxy plane
