Description
The study of anisotropies in the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays can give vital clues to understand their origin.
Here we report the recent results related to the search of anisotropies in the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory.
We focus on the search for large scale patterns.
Prominent is a search within events with energies above 4 EeV using showers with a maximum zenith angle of 80 degrees.
Among the results, we report on the hint of a dipolar pattern for energies above 8 EeV.
Finally, we present an update on the search for correlations between events and nearby extragalactic objects.
