Effect of Void Network on CMB Anisotropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the effect of a void network on the CMB anisotropy in the Einstein-de Sitter background using Thompson & Vishniac’s model. We consider comprehensively the Sacks-Wolfe effect, the Rees-Sciama effect and the gravitational lensing effect. Our analysis includes the model of primordial voids existing at recombination, which is realized in some inflationary models associated with a first-order phase transition. If there exist primordial voids whose comoving radius is larger than ∼ 10h−1Mpc at recombination, not only the Sachs-Wolfe effect but also the Rees-Sciama effect is appreciable even for multipoles l ∼< 1000 of the anisotropy spectrum. The gravitational lensing effect, on the other hand, slightly smoothes the primary anisotropy; quantitatively, our results for the void model are similar to the previous results for a CDM model. All the effects, together, would give some constraints on the configuration or origin of voids with high-resolution data of the CMB anisotropy.

Constraining CMB-consistent primordial voids with cluster evolution
Using cosmological simulations, we make predictions for the distribution of clusters in a plausible non-gaussianmodel where primordial voids nucleated during inflation act together with scale-invariant adiabatic gaussian fluctuations as seeds for the formation of large-scale structure. The parameters of the void network are constrained by the cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations and b...

متن کاملA possible contribution to CMB anisotropies at high l from primordial voids
We present preliminary results of an analysis into the effects of primordial voids on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We show that an inflationary bubble model of void formation predicts excess power in the CMB angular power spectrum that peaks between 2000 < < 3000. Therefore, voids that exist on or close to the last scattering surface at the epoch of decoupling can contribute significa...
متن کاملLocal Voids as the Origin of Large-angle Cosmic Microwave Background Anomalies I
We explore the large angular scale temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background due to expanding homogeneous local voids at redshift z . 1. A compensated spherically symmetric homogeneous dust-filled void with radius ∼ 3× 102h−1Mpc, and density contrast δ ∼ −0.3 can be observed as a cold spot with a temperature anisotropy ∆T/T ∼ −1× 10−5 surrounded by a slightly hotter ring. We f...
