Microwave Background Anisotropies from Alfvén waves
We investigate microwave background anisotropies in the presence of primordial magnetic fields. We show that a homogeneous field with fixed direction can amplify vector perturbations. We calculate the correlations of δT/T explicitly and show that a large scale coherent field induces correlations between al−1,m and al+1,m. We discuss constraints on the amplitude and spectrum of a primordial magn...
متن کاملCosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
■ Abstract Cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies have and will continue to revolutionize our understanding of cosmology. The recent discovery of the previously predicted acoustic peaks in the power spectrum has established a working cosmological model: a critical density universe consisting of mainly dark matter and dark energy, which formed its structure through gravitatio...
متن کاملMicrowave Background Anisotropies from Scaling Seed Perturbations
We study microwave background anisotropies induced by scaling seed perturbations in a universe dominated by cold dark matter. Using a gauge invariant linear perturbation analysis, we solve the perturbation equations on superhorizon scales, for CMB anisotropies triggered by generic gravitational seeds. We find that perturbations induced by seeds — under very mild restrictions — are nearly isocur...
متن کاملCosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies from Global Texture
We investigate the global texture model of structure formation in cosmogonies with non-zero cosmological constant for different values of the Hubble parameter. We find that the absence of significant acoustic peaks and little power on large scales are robust predictions of these models. However, from a careful comparison with experiments we conclude that at present we cannot safely reject the m...
متن کاملTexture-induced microwave background anisotropies.
We use numerical simulations to calculate the cosmic microwave background anisotropy induced by the evolution of a global texture field, with special emphasis on individual textures. Both spherically symmetric and general configurations are analysed, and in the latter case we consider field configurations which exhibit unwinding events and also ones which do not. We compare the results given by...
