چکیده

In this article, we extend previous studies based on CMB spherical harmonic phases (SHP) to examine the validity of hypothesis that temperature field is consistent with a Gaussian random (GRF). The null corresponding SHP are independent and identically distributed in terms uniform distribution interval [0, 2$\pi$] \citep{1986ApJ...304...15B,2013rossmanith}. We devise new model-independent method where use ordered non-parametric Rao's statistic, sample arc-lengths comprehensively test uniformity independence SHP. performed our analysis scales limited by modes $\le$ 128, restrict ourselves signal-dominated regions. To find non-uniform or dependent sets SHP, calculate statistic for data 10000 Monte Carlo simulated uniformly 0.05 0.001 $\alpha$ levels distinguish between statistically significant highly detections. first establish performance using Gaussian, non-Gaussian maps, along observed 100 143 GHz Planck channel maps. performs efficiently accurately detecting phase correlations generated all simulations foreground contaminated apply satellite mission's final released anisotropy maps- COMMANDER, SMICA, NILC, SEVEM WMAP 9 year ILC map. report some $m$-modes non-uniform, $\ell$ mode neighboring pair correlated cleaned detection non-uniformity correlation indicates presence signals minimized

Measuring Primordial Non-gaussianity in the Cosmic Microwave Background

We derive a fast way for measuring primordial non-Gaussianity in a nearly full-sky map of the cosmic microwave background. We find a cubic combination of sky maps combining bispectrum configurations to capture a quadratic term in primordial fluctuations. Our method takes only N3/2 operations rather than N5/2 of the bispectrum analysis (1000 times faster for l = 512), retaining the same sensitiv...

Testing for non-Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background in harmonic space: an empirical process approach

Abstract We present a new, model-independent approach for measuring non-Gaussianity of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy pattern. Our approach is based on the empirical distribution function of the normalized spherical harmonic expansion coefficients alm of a nearly full-sky CMB map, like the ones expected from forthcoming satellite experiments. Using a set of Kolmogorov-Smirnov ...

Fast Estimator of Primordial Non-Gaussianity from Temperature and Polarization Anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background

Measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity (fNL) open a new window onto the physics of inflation. We describe a fast cubic (bispectrum) estimator of fNL, using a combined analysis of temperature and polarization observations. The speed of our estimator allows us to use a sufficient number of Monte Carlo simulations to characterize its statistical properties in the presence of real world issues ...

Phase Correlations in Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature Maps

We study the statistical properties of spherical harmonic modes of temperature maps of the cosmic microwave background. Unlike other studies, which focus mainly on properties of the amplitudes of these modes, we look instead at their phases. In particular, we present a simple measure of phase correlation that can be diagnostic of departures from the standard assumption that primordial density f...

Primordial non-Gaussianity from a joint analysis of the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization

We explore a systematic approach to the analysis of primordial non-Gaussianity using fluctuations in the temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Following Munshi & Heavens, we define a set of power spectra as compressed forms of the bispectrum and trispectrum derived fromCMB temperature and polarization maps; these spectra compress the information content of the c...
