Acoustic Signatures in the Cosmic Microwave Background
We study the uniqueness and robustness of acoustic signatures in the cosmic microwave background by allowing for the possibility that they are generated by some as yet unknown source of gravitational perturbations. The acoustic pattern of peak locations and relative heights predicted by the standard inÑationary cold dark matter model is essentially unique, and its conÐrmation would have deep im...
متن کاملCosmic Microwave Background anisotropies beyond the third peak
Forthcoming CMB experiments will allow us to accurately investigate the power spectrum at very small scales (l > 1000). In this context, we forecast the level of the primary anisotropies, given the actual CMB measurements. The secondary anisotropies generated after matter-radiation decoupling contribute additional power in the tail of the CMB power spectrum. Together with the primary anisotropi...
متن کامل23 . Cosmic microwave background 1 23 . COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND
The energy content in radiation from beyond our Galaxy is dominated by the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), discovered in 1965 [1]. The spectrum of the CMB is well described by a blackbody function with T = 2.725 K. This spectral form is one of the main pillars of the hot Big Bang model for the early Universe. The lack of any observed deviations from a blackbody spectrum constrains physical p...

متن کاملCosmic Microwave Background
We asses the contribution to the observed large scale anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, arising from both gravity waves as well as adiabatic density perturbations, generated by a common inflationary mechanism in the early Universe. We find that for inflationary models predicting power law primordial spectra |δk| ∝ k, the relative contribution to the quadrupole anisotropy ...
