Constraining Isocurvature Initial Conditions with WMAP 3-year data
We present constraints on the presence of isocurvature modes from the temperature and polarization CMB spectrum data from the WMAP satellite alone, and in combination with other datasets including SDSS galaxy survey and SNLS supernovae. We find that the inclusion of polarization data allows the WMAP data alone, as well as in combination with complementary observations, to place improved limits ...
متن کاملThe isocurvature fraction after WMAP 3–year data
I revisit the question of the adiabaticity of initial conditions for cosmological perturbations in view of the 3–year WMAP data. I focus on the simplest alternative to pure adiabatic conditions, namely a superposition of the adiabatic mode and one of the 3 possible isocurvature modes, with the same spectral index as the adiabatic component. I discuss findings in terms of posterior bounds on the...

I revisit the question of the adiabaticity of initial conditions for cosmological perturbations in view of the 3-yr Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data. I focus on the simplest alternative to purely adiabatic conditions, namely a superposition of the adiabatic mode and one of the three possible isocurvature modes, with the same spectral index as the adiabatic component. I discuss f...
متن کاملConstraining Spinning Dust Parameters with the Wmap Five-year Data
We characterize spinning dust emission in the warm ionized medium by comparing templates of Galactic dust and Hα with the 5-year maps from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. The Hα-correlated microwave emission deviates from the thermal bremsstrahlung (free-free) spectrum expected for ionized gas, exhibiting an additional broad bump peaked at ∼ 40 GHz which provides ∼ 20% of the peak int...
متن کاملConstraining hybrid inflation models with WMAP three-year results
We reconsider the original model of quadratic hybrid inflation in light of the WMAP three-year results and study the possibility of obtaining a spectral index of primordial density perturbations, ns, smaller than one from this model. The original hybrid inflation model naturally predicts ns ≥ 1 in the false vacuum dominated regime but it is also possible to have ns < 1 when the quadratic term d...
