Abstract: 

The propagation of galactic cosmic rays in the interstellar medium is considered. The angular distribution anisotropy of particles in 1011—1014 eV energy range, cased by a local cosmic ray source, is calculated in the diffusion approximation. The distance to the local particle source and its age are estimated based on the value of galactic cosmic ray anisotropy.

Keywords: anisotropy, cosmic rays
