CMB-induced Cluster Polarization as a Cosmological Probe
Scattering of the temperature anisotropy quadrupole by free electrons in galaxy clusters leads to a secondary polarization signal in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations. At low redshifts, the temperature quadrupole contains a significant contribution from the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect associated with the growth of density fluctuations. Using polarization data from a sam...
متن کاملThe CMB as a dark energy probe
We give a brief review of the known effects of a dynamical vacuum cosmological component, the dark energy, on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We distinguish between a “classic" class of observables, used so far to constrain the average of the dark energy abundance in the redshift interval in which it is relevant for acceleration, and a “modern" class, aiming at the me...
متن کاملGenus statistics on CMB polarization maps and cosmological parameter degeneracy
We apply genus statistics to simulated CMB polarization maps, constructed from secondary-ionization cosmological models in experimental situations comparable to those of forthcoming space experiments. We find that both the cosmic baryon density and the spectral index of density perturbations are strongly anticorrelated to the reionization redshift. Using the Fisher matrix approach we show that ...
متن کاملCMB polarization towards clusters as a probe of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect
The scattering of the temperature anisotropy quadrupole by free electrons in galaxy clusters leads to a now well-known polarization signal in the cosmic microwave background fluctuations. Using multifrequency polarization data, one can extract the temperature quadrupole and separate it from the contaminant polarization associated with the kinematic quadrupole due to the transverse motion of clu...
متن کاملCosmological parameters from cluster abundances , CMB and IRAS
We combine information on cosmological parameters from cluster abundances, CMB primor-dial anisotropies and the IRAS 1.2 Jy galaxy redshift survey. We take as free parameters the present values of the total matter density of the universe, Ω m , the Hubble parameter, h, the linear theory rms fluctuations in the matter density within 8h −1 Mpc spheres, σ 8 , and the IRAS biasing factor, b IRAS. W...
