متن کاملTesting Primordial Non-Gaussianity in CMB Anisotropies
Recent second-order perturbation computations have provided an accurate prediction for the primordial gravitational potential, Φ(x), in scenarios in which cosmological perturbations are generated either during or after inflation. This enables us to make realistic predictions for a nonGaussian part of Φ(x), which is generically written in momentum space as a double convolution of its Gaussian pa...
متن کاملFast Estimator of Primordial Non-Gaussianity from Temperature and Polarization Anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity (fNL) open a new window onto the physics of inflation. We describe a fast cubic (bispectrum) estimator of fNL, using a combined analysis of temperature and polarization observations. The speed of our estimator allows us to use a sufficient number of Monte Carlo simulations to characterize its statistical properties in the presence of real world issues ...
متن کاملGauge-invariant temperature anisotropies and primordial non-Gaussianity.
We provide the gauge-invariant expression for large-scale cosmic microwave background temperature fluctuations at second-order perturbation theory. This enables us to define unambiguously the nonlinearity parameter f(NL), which is used by experimental collaborations to pin down the level of non-Gaussianity in the temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, it contains a primordial term encoding all ...
متن کاملPrimordial non-Gaussianity from the 21 cm power spectrum during the epoch of reionization.
Primordial non-Gaussianity is a crucial test of inflationary cosmology. We consider the impact of non-Gaussianity on the ionization power spectrum from 21 cm emission at the epoch of reionization. We focus on the power spectrum on large scales at redshifts of 7 to 8 and explore the expected constraint on the local non-Gaussianity parameter f(NL) for current and next-generation 21 cm experiments...
