Uncorrelated Measurements of the Cmb Power Spectrum
will be uncorrelated, since 〈ĉĉ〉 − 〈ĉ〉〈ĉ〉 = I. 〈ĉ〉 = Mc, so the new window function matrix will be M. However, whereas the window functions of the original power estimates (the rows of F) are always well-behaved (they are always non-negative, and are generally quite narrow, as shown in the top panel of Figure 1), there is no guarantee that the same will hold for the new window functions. As was...
متن کاملUncorrelated Modes of the Nonlinear Power Spectrum
Nonlinear evolution causes the galaxy power spectrum to become broadly correlated over different wavenumbers. It is shown that prewhitening the power spectrum – transforming the power spectrum in such a way that the noise covariance becomes proportional to the unit matrix – greatly narrows the covariance of power. The eigenfunctions of the covariance of the prewhitened nonlinear power spectrum ...
متن کاملReconstructing the primordial power spectrum
We reconstruct the shape of the primordial power spectrum from the latest cosmic microwave background data, including the new results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), and large scale structure data from the two degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). We tested four parameterizations taking into account the uncertainties in four cosmological parameters. First we parame...
متن کاملReconstructing the Primordial Power Spectrum
The combination of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy measurements and Large-Scale Structure observations has caused dissatisfaction with the standard Cold Dark Matter (sCDM) cosmogony, leading some to advocate a “tilt” of the primordial power spectrum away from scale-invariant (n = 1) to n = 0.8− 0.9. 1 Other CDM cosmogonies have not commonly been tilted but their agreement with the ...
متن کاملWMAP 3 - year primordial power spectrum
We constrain the form of the primordial power spectrum using Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 3-year cosmic microwave background (CMB) data in addition to complementary large-scale structure (LSS) data. We extend the work of the WMAP team (Spergel et al. 2006) to that of a fully Bayesian approach whereby we compute the comparative Bayesian evidence in addition to parameter estimates ...
