Revisiting the distance to the nearest UHECR source: Effects of extra-galactic magnetic fields

We update the constraints on the location of the nearest UHECR source. By analyzing recent data from the Pierre Auger Observatory using start-of-the-art CR propagation models, we reaffirm the need of local sources with a distance less than 25-100~Mpc, depending on mass composition. A new fast semi-analytical method for the propagation of UHECR in environments with turbulent magnetic fields is developed. The onset of an enhancement and a low-energy magnetic horizon of cosmic rays from sources located within a particular distance range is demonstrated. We investigate the distance to the nearest source, taking into account these magnetic field effects. The results obtained highlight the robustness of our constrained distances to the nearest source.
