Description

Analysis of the experimental data of joint Russian - Hungarian research was carried out at Tien Shan station on the search of sources of primary cosmic rays (PCR) at energies 0.1-1.0 PeV. Maps of extensive air shower arrival directions were presented where the standard deviation of mean event numbers in equatorial co-ordinates exceeded a definite value. The excess of EAS number was observed from an Galaxy object - the SN remnant and some other directions. The young pulsar PSR 0656+14 located near the centre of this object.
