Magnetic deflections and possible sources of the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays in the AGASA-HiRes-Yakutsk cluster

The cluster of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays observed by the AGASA, HiRes and Yakutsk experiments is studied with respect to possible deflections of particles in regular magnetic fields. Best-fit positions of a potential source of these clustered particles are found, with account of the errors in en...
