Bayesian limits on primordial isotropy breaking.
It is often assumed that primordial perturbations are statistically isotropic, which implies, among other properties, that their power spectrum is invariant under rotations. In this article, we test this assumption by placing bounds on deviations from rotational invariance of the primordial spectrum. Using five-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe cosmic microwave anisotropy maps, we set l...
متن کاملLimits on the primordial stellar multiplicity
Most stars especially young stars are observed to be in multiple systems. Dynamical evolution is unable to pair stars efficiently, which leads to the conclusion that star-forming cores must usually fragment into ≥ 2 stars. However, the dynamical decay of systems with ≥ 3 or 4 stars would result in a large single-star population that is not seen in the young stellar population. Additionally, eje...
متن کاملBroken Isotropy from a Linear Modulation of the Primordial Perturbations
A linear modulation of the primordial perturbations is proposed as an explanation for the observed asymmetry between the northern and southern hemispheres of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data. A cut sky, reduced resolution third year “Internal Linear Combination” (ILC ) map was used to estimate the modulation parameters. A foreground template and a modulated plus unmodulated ...
متن کاملSpontaneous isotropy breaking: A mechanism for CMB multipole alignments
1550-7998=20 We introduce a class of models in which statistical isotropy is broken spontaneously in the CMB by a nonlinear response to long-wavelength fluctuations in a mediating field. These fluctuations appear as a gradient locally and pick out a single preferred direction. The nonlinear response imprints this direction in a range of multipole moments. We consider two manifestations of isotr...
متن کاملBreaking Speed and Sensitivity Limits
High-throughput imaging is needed to identify rare diseased cells among a large population of healthy cells. When combined with microfluidics, this labelfree cell identification method can revolutionize pathology, cancer screening, and potentially even stem cell therapy. Featuring optical image streaming and amplification, this new approach to imaging overcomes the technological and fundamental...
