Relic neutrino asymmetry, CMB and large-scale structure
We consider some consequences of the presence of a cosmological lepton asymmetry in the form of neutrinos. A relic neutrino degeneracy enhances the contribution of massive neutrinos to the present energy density of the Universe, and modifies the power spectrum of radiation and matter. Comparing with current observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies and large scale structure, we d...
متن کاملLarge scale CMB anomalies from thawing cosmic strings
Cosmic strings formed during inflation are expected to be either diluted over super-Hubble distances, i.e., invisible today, or to have crossed our past light cone very recently. We discuss the latter situation in which a few strings imprint their signature in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Anisotropies after recombination. Being almost frozen in the Hubble flow, these strings are quasi ...
متن کاملLarge-Angle Anomalies in the CMB
We review the recently found large-scale anomalies in the maps of temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. These include alignments of the largest modes of CMB anisotropy with each other and with geometry and direction of motion of the solar ssystem, and the unusually low power at these largest scales. We discuss these findings in relation to expectation from standard inflat...
متن کاملProbing the Origin of the Large-angle CMB Anomalies
It has been argued that the large-angle cosmic microwave background anisotropy has anomalies at ∼ 3σ level. We review various proposed ideas to explain the origin of the anomalies and discuss how we can constrain the proposed models using future observational data.
متن کاملBianchi Model CMB Polarization and its Implications for CMB Anomalies
We derive the CMB radiative transfer equation in the form of a multipole hierarchy in the nearly-Friedmann-Robertson-Walker limit of homogeneous, but anisotropic, universes classified via their Bianchi type. Compared with previous calculations, this allows a more sophisticated treatment of recombination, produces predictions for the polarization of the radiation, and allows for reionization. Ou...
