Power Spectrum Estimators For Large CMB Datasets
Forthcoming high-resolution observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation will generate datasets many orders of magnitude larger than have been obtained to date. The size and complexity of such datasets presents a very serious challenge to analysing them with existing or anticipated computers. Here we present an investigation of the currently favored algorithm for obtaining th...
متن کاملAngular-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 کاملCmb Anisotropy Power Spectrum Statistics
Much attention has been given to the problem of estimating cosmological parameters from the Cl measured by future experiments. Many of the approaches which are being used either invoke poorly controlled approximations or are computationally expensive. We derive exact results as well as fast and highly accurate approximations for mapping a theoretical model onto the observed power spectrum coeff...
متن کاملCMB Power Spectrum from Noncommutative Spacetime
Very recent CMB data of WMAP offers an opportunity to test inflation models, in particular, the running of spectral index is quite new and can be used to rule out some models. We show that an noncommutative spacetime inflation model gives a good explanation of these new results. In fitting the data, we also obtain a relationship between the noncommutative parameter (string scale) and the ending...
متن کاملEstimators for CMB Statistical Anisotropy
We use quadratic maximum-likelihood (QML) estimators to constrain models with Gaussian but statistically anisotropic CMB fluctuations, using CMB maps with realistic sky-coverage and instrumental noise. This approach is optimal when the anisotropy is small, or when checking for consistency with isotropy. We demonstrate the power of the QML approach by applying it to the WMAP data to constrain se...
