Angular-planar CMB power spectrum
Gaussianity and statistical isotropy of the universe are modern cosmology's minimal set of hypotheses. In this work we introduce a new statistical test to detect observational deviations from this minimal set. By de ning the temperature correlation function over the whole celestial sphere, we are able to independently quantify both angular and planar dependence (modulations) of the CMB temperat...
متن کاملSecondary CMB Anisotropies from Cosmological Reionization
We use numerical simulation of cosmological reionization to calculate the secondary CMB anisotropies in a representative flat low density cosmological model. We show that the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (scattering off of moving electrons in the ionized intergalactic medium) is dominated by the nonlinear hydrodynamic and gravitational evolution of the density and velocity fields, rather t...
متن کاملAngular power spectrum of CMB anisotropy from WMAP
The remarkable improvement in the estimates of different cosmological parameters in recent years has been largely spearheaded by accurate measurements of the angular power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. This has required removal of foreground contamination as well as detector noise bias with reliability and precision. Recently, a novel model-independent method for the ...
متن کاملEstimates of Cosmological Parameters Using the Cmb Angular Power Spectrum of Acbar
We report an investigation of cosmological parameters based on the measurements of anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) made by Acbar. We use the Acbar data in concert with other recent CMB measurements to derive Bayesian estimates of parameters in inflation-motivated adiabatic cold dark matter models. We apply a series of additional cosmological constraints on the shap...
متن کاملPolarized CMB: Reionization and Primordial Tensor modes
We discuss upcoming opportunities with cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations during the post-WMAP era. The curlmodes of CMB polarization probe inflationary gravitational waves (IGWs). While a significant source of confusion is expected from cosmic shear conversion of polarization related to density perturbations, higher resolution observations of CMB anisotropies can be used for a lens...
