Might we have met? Back to cosmic ray anisotropy. There was actually a big paper from the Pierre Auger collaboration in 2007 on anisotropy that made it to the cover of Science. It correlated arrival directions with a I catalog of, IIRC, AGNs. I was in my first year in the group so I didn&amp;#x27;t make the author list…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1709.07321/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
