Sidereal anisotropy of cosmic rays

The data of the ionization chamber in Yakutsk for 1954 to 1984 are analyzed. A false sidereal variation caused by the second spherical harmonic in cosmic ray distribution was found and it has the amplitude 0.020 plus or minus 0.002%. The sidereal anisotropy with a very small amplitude (not more than 0.005%) was observed to exist.

Change of cosmic ray anisotropy with solar activity

Muon telescope data at various depths underground in Yakutsk within energy range 10 to 300 GeV for 1957 to 1984 are analyzed. The 22-year variation of the interplanetary magnetic field aligned component is found. The variation is caused by interaction of heliomagnetosphere with the local galactic field and interstellar wind.

Galactic cosmic ray currents and magnetic field irregularity degree in high-speed solar wind streams

Currents of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) obtained by global survey method are analyzed. The cases of almost total disappearance of GCR currents are compared with the results of direct measurements of the solar wind parameters. The conclusion is made on a restricted application of the convective-diffusive mechanism of the GCR modulation by the solar wind during the occurrence of stationary and regular magnetic fields in the interplanetary medium.
