  • 摘要:It is shown that the sidereal anisotropy (SiA) of cosmic rays (CRs) with energies smaller than 104 GeV consists of three kinds: one (GA) is of galactic origin from the direction ΦG ( α G = 0 hr; δ G = −20°), and the other two (tail-in TA and nose-in HA) are of solar origin from the respective directions ΦT ( α T = 6 hr; δ T ∼ −24°) and ΦH ( α H = 18 hr; δ H 0°) and supposed to be produced by the acceleration of CRs on the tail and nose boundaries of the heliomagnetosphere (HMS).This conclusion was arrived at in 1995 after a long-term delay since the beginning of CR observations in the early 20-th century.This delay was mainly due to the inconsistency among observations caused by the belief that the sidereal anisotropy must be unidirectional in space.The inconsistency has been solved at least qualitatively by the discovery of GA and TA.These anisotropies, including also HA, are subject, respectively, to their proper solar modulations in the HMS characterized by a polarity reversal every 11 years of the solar polar magnetic field and solar activity dependence with an 11-year periodicity.By using these modulation patterns, the origins of the three anisotropies have been determined.TA and HA thus determined inversely produce the following kinds of evidence and problems in the HMS: (1) the structure of the HMS, (2) acceleration of CRs on the boundary of the HMS, (3) CR Lens Effect of the HMS for the sharp concentration of TA and HA, (4) the proper motion (VHMS) of the HMS relative to neighboring stars, (5) the proper motion of interstellar gaseous matter (including the magnetic field) relative to neighboring stars, and (6) the existence of the Subordinate HMS surrounding the HMS for the explanation of the duality of the motion of the HMS and also of the absence of the Compton-Getting (C-G) effect on the HMS.The present paper not only presents a brief summary of the studies of CR sidereal anisotropy made by many researchers during the 20th century leading to the present understanding, but also presents some problems to open up a new vista of the future. Key words Cosmic rays (CR) sidereal anisotropy heliomagnetosphere (HMS) interstellar matter (ISM) Compton-Getting effect motion of the HMS motion of ISM acceleration of CRs cosmic ray lens effect.
