Takami and Sato (Galactic Magnetic Field note below) conclude that:
"PAO finds the positional correlation of the arrival directions of highest energy events with the direction of Cen A (Pierre Auger Collaboration 2007)."
This means as they state in their article that:
"The protons coming from these directions are very weakly deflected since the deflections by the dipole field and the spiral field are balanced."
Just the right balance to make a little aperture where two of the twenty seven of the highest energy cosmic rays ever detected on Earth find their way to the PAO!
Nice coincidence.
