CMB Anisotropies at Second-Order II: Analytical Approach
We provide an analytical approach to the second–order Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies generated by the non–linear dynamics taking place at last scattering. We study the acoustic oscillations of the photon–baryon fluid in the tight coupling limit and we extend at second– order the Meszaros effect. We allow for a generic set of initial conditions due to primordial nonGaussianity an...
متن کاملCMB anisotropies at second order III: bispectrum from products of the first-order perturbations
We calculate the bispectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies induced by the second-order fluctuations in the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, which is one of a series of papers on the numerical calculation of the bispectrum from the second-order fluctuations, we consider the terms that are products of the first-order perturbations, and leave intrinsically seco...
متن کاملMagnetized CMB anisotropies
Possible effects of large-scale magnetic fields on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) are reviewed. Depending on the specific branch of the spectrum of plasma excitations, magnetic fields are treated either within a two-fluid plasma description or within an effective (one-fluid) approach. The uniform field approximation is contrasted with the fully inhomogeneous field approximation. It is ar...
متن کاملAnisotropies in the CMB
Over the last few years it has become common place to speak of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy as the premier laboratory for cosmology and early universe physics. In the titles to most talks the word \anisotropy" is often absent, it being understood that the talk will be about the anisotropy. This is an interesting phenomenon. Consider that when we speak of the CMB we could spe...
متن کاملATCA and CMB anisotropies
Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations in sky regions selected to be low in foreground confusion have been used to infer limits on arcmin-scale CMB anisotropy in total intensity and polarization. These deep searches have, hitherto, been made using the East-West ATCA in an ultra-compact 1-D array configuration and in the highest available frequency band at 3-cm wavelength. The ATC...
