| Abstract: | The arrival directions of ultrahigh-energy extensive air showers detected at the Yakutsk extensive air shower array are considered. The maxima revealed in the distribution of the arrival directions of showers and doublets are found to correlate with the coordinates of pulsars located in the Galactic plane. It is shown that the three showers detected at the Yakutsk extensive air shower with the highest energies E > 1020 eV correlate with the nearest pulsars. |
