High-resolution Simulations of Cosmic Microwave Background Non-gaussian Maps in Spherical Coordinates
We describe a new numerical algorithm to obtain high-resolution simulated maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), for a broad class of non-Gaussian models. The kind of non-Gaussianity we account for is based on the simple idea that the primordial gravitational potential is obtained by a non-linear but local mapping from an underlying Gaussian random field, as resulting from a variety of ...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background power asymmetry from non-Gaussian modulation.
Non-Gaussianity in the inflationary perturbations can couple observable scales to modes of much longer wavelength (even superhorizon), leaving as a signature a large-angle modulation of the observed cosmic microwave background power spectrum. This provides an alternative origin for a power asymmetry that is otherwise often ascribed to a breaking of statistical isotropy. The non-Gaussian modulat...
متن کاملIs the Cosmic Microwave Background Really Non-gaussian?
Two recent papers have claimed detection of non-Gaussian features in the COBE DMR sky maps of the cosmic microwave background. We revisit and confirm these results, but argue that Gaussianity is still not convincingly ruled out. Since a score of non-Gaussianity tests have now been published, one might expect some mildly significant results even by chance. Moreover, in the case of one measure wh...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background non-Gaussian signatures from analytical texture models.
Using an analytical model for the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies produced by textures, we compute the resulting collapsed three–point correlation function and the rms expected value due to the cosmic variance. We apply our calculations to the COBE–DMR experiment and discuss the constraints that can be put to the model parameters. We also show that an experiment with smaller angular re...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian effects in the cosmic microwave background from inflation.
The presence of non{Gaussian features in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation maps represents one of the most long{awaited clues in the search for the actual structure of the primordial radiation, still needing con rmation. These features could shed some light on the non trivial task of distinguishing the real source of the primeval perturbations leading to large scale structure. One...
