Anisotropy (in arbitrary units) due to all sources that lie at a distance d from the Galactic center is plotted against d. Here, the GMF is assumed to be MF3. In the top panel, λ mfp = r L and in the bottom panel, λ mfp = 3 r L . Solid (red) and dashed (green) curves represent anisotropy along the radial and z-direction, respectively. The thick black bar in the right panel indicates the observed 99% upper limit set by Auger, and the thin blue line indicates the mean anisotropy assuming that the sources are distributed in proportion to the star formation rate (Equation (7)).
