Constrained Simulations of the Magnetic Field in the Local Supercluster and the Propagation of UHECR

Magnetic fields (MF) in the Local Supercluster (LSC) of galaxies may have profound consequences for the propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR). Faraday rotations measurements provide some informations about MF in compact clusters. However, very few is known about less dense regions and...

description Magnetic fields (MF) in the Local Supercluster (LSC) of galaxies may have profound consequences for the propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR). Faraday rotations measurements provide some informations about MF in compact clusters. However, very few is known about less dense regions and about the global structure of MF in the LSC. In order to get a better knowledge of these fields we are performing constrained magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the LSC magnetic field. We will present the results of our simulation and discuss their implications for the angular distribution of expected UHECR deflections.
