| contents | Our latest paper investigates the effects of UHECR propagation in a turbulent intergalactic magnetic field in the small-angle scattering regime, specifically focusing on the non-trivial caustic-like pattern that arises with strong deviation from isotropy. In this paper, we explore the effect of the observer's position on the measurement of source flux at a given distance. We examine three types of source locations, characterized by the density of cosmic rays from a given source at the observation point, which we call knots, filaments and voids. We also investigate the energy spectrum in these different cases and present simulated images of the source as it appears on the observer's telescope after propagation in the combination of intergalactic and Galactic magnetic fields. We show that hot spots in the UHECR data can arrive due to combined distortions of source images on the intergalactic and Galactic magnetic fields. Also the fact that flux of most nearby sources is diluted in the voids affects source population studies. |
