Abstract: A study of the anisotropy of primary cosmic raya is presented. The expression of the anisotropy is derived in a model of statistical discrete sources in an infinite galaxy. Using these derived formulas, the amplitudes of the first harmonic anisotropies caused by eleven supernovea nearby the Earth are estimated individually and the trend of the resultant anisotropy is investigated. It is found that the expected results can account for the power law of E0.5 of the anisotropy above the energy 5×1015eV. The Compton-Getting effect can cause an additional anisotropy which is independent of energy and added to the resultant anisotropy of these discrete sources. It is apparent that the anisotropies available in the low energy range 1011—1014eV are caused by the Compton-Getting effect. Taking the differential spectrum index γ=2.67 mersured in the same energy bound we get the streaming velocity of 35km/s with respect to the cosmic ray background.
