Angular-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 کاملAngular power spectrum of CMB anisotropy from WMAP
The remarkable improvement in the estimates of different cosmological parameters in recent years has been largely spearheaded by accurate measurements of the angular power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. This has required removal of foreground contamination as well as detector noise bias with reliability and precision. Recently, a novel model-independent method for the ...
متن کاملEstimates of Cosmological Parameters Using the Cmb Angular Power Spectrum of Acbar
We report an investigation of cosmological parameters based on the measurements of anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) made by Acbar. We use the Acbar data in concert with other recent CMB measurements to derive Bayesian estimates of parameters in inflation-motivated adiabatic cold dark matter models. We apply a series of additional cosmological constraints on the shap...
متن کاملTriaxial haloes, intrinsic alignments and the dark matter power spectrum
We develop the halo model of large-scale structure to include triaxial dark matter haloes and their intrinsic alignments. As a direct application we derive general expressions for the two-point correlation function and the power spectrum. We then focus on the power spectrum and numerically solve the general expressions for two different models of the triaxial profiles. The first is a toy-model ...
متن کاملThe Power Spectrum Dependence of Dark Matter Halo Concentrations
High-resolution N-body simulations are used to examine the power spectrum dependence of the concentration of galaxy-sized dark matter halos. It is found that dark halo concentrations depend on the amplitude of mass fluctuations as well as on the ratio of power between small and virial mass scales. This finding is consistent with the original results of Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW), and allows t...
