Contributions of Point Extragalactic Sources to the Cosmic Microwave Background Bispectrum
All the analyses of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature maps up–to–date show that CMB anisotropies follow a Gaussian distribution. On the other hand, astrophysical foregrounds which hamper the detection of the CMB angular power spectrum, are not Gaussian distributed on the sky. Therefore, they should give a sizeable contribution to the CMB bispectrum. In fact, the first year data of t...
متن کاملExtragalactic sources in Cosmic Microwave Background maps
We discuss the potential of a next generation space-borne CMB experiment for studies of extragalactic sources with reference to COrE+, a project submitted to ESA in response to the call for a Medium-size mission (M4). We consider three possible options for the telescope size: 1m, 1.5m and 2m (although the last option is probably impractical, given the M4 boundary conditions). The proposed instr...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Microwave Background Bispectrum and Inflation
We derive an expression for the non-Gaussian cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) statistic I3 l defined recently by Ferreira, Magueijo, and Górski in terms of the slow-roll-inflation parameters ǫ and η. This result shows that a nonzero value of I3 l in COBE would rule out single-field slow-roll inflation. A sharp change in the slope of the inflaton potential could increase the predicted value of ...
متن کاملOdd-parity cosmic microwave background bispectrum
Measurement of the CMB bispectrum, or three-point correlation function, has now become one of the principle efforts in early-Universe cosmology. Here we show that there is an odd-parity component of the CMB bispectrum that has been hitherto unexplored. We argue that odd-parity temperature-polarization bispectra can arise, in principle, through weak lensing of the CMB by chiral gravitational wav...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background bispectrum and inflation
We derive an expression for the non-Gaussian cosmic microwave background ~CMB! statistic I l 3 defined recently by Ferreira, Magueijo, and Górski in terms of the slow-roll-inflation parameters e and h . This result shows that a nonzero value of I l 3 in COBE would rule out single-field slow-roll inflation. A sharp change in the slope of the inflaton potential could increase the predicted value ...
