Description
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) are charged particles, with energies greater than 1 EeV that are reaching the Earth from space. The origin of UHECR and their nature remain unknown. In this talk I will discuss the studies of distribution of UHECR arrival directions over the sky in search for their sources, that are expected to be extragalactic. I will also discuss the method of estimation of UHECR charge from their anisotropy and its application to the data of UHECR experiments.
