Extended self-similarity of the small-scale cosmic microwave background anisotropy
نویسنده
چکیده
The Extended Self-Similarity (ESS) of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation has been studied using recent data obtained by the space-craft based Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Using the ESS and the high angular scale resolution (arcminutes) of the data it is shown that the CMB temperature space increments exhibit considerable and systematic declination from Gaussianity for high order moments at the small angular scales. Moreover, the CMB space increment ESS exponents have remarkably close values to the ESS exponents observed in turbulence (in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence). PACS numbers: 98.70.Vc; 95.85.Bh; 98.80.Es

متن کاملBulk Flows and Cosmic Microwave Background Dipole Anisotropy in Cosmological Void Models
The observational behavior of spherically symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models is studied, which consist of inner and outer homogeneous regions connected by a shell or an intermediate selfsimilar region. It is assumed that the present matter density parameter in the inner region is smaller than that in the outer region, and the present Hubble parameter in the inner region is larger than ...
متن کاملConstraints on the Evolution of the Primordial Magnetic Field from the Small-Scale Cosmic Microwave Background Angular Anisotropy
Recent observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have extended the measured power spectrum to higher multipoles l &1000, and there appears to be possible evidence for excess power on small angular scales. The primordial magnetic field (PMF) can strongly affect the CMB power spectrum and the formation of large scale structure. In this paper, we calculate the CMB temperature anisotrop...
متن کاملPlanck - Kerr Turbulence
A quantum gravitational instability is identified at Planck scales between nonspinning extreme Schwarzschild black holes and spinning extreme Kerr black holes, which produces a turbulent Planck particle gas. Planck inertial vortex forces balance gravitational forces as the Planck turbulence cascades to larger scales and the universe expands and cools. Turbulent mixing of temperature fluctuation...
متن کاملRuling out a critical density baryonic universe
It has been suggested by Bartlett and Hall that our universe may have the critical density in baryons by virtue of specific interactions with a ‘shadow’ world. We show that this possibility is severely constrained by primordial nucleosynthesis, stellar evolution and the thermalization of the cosmic microwave background. In particular, recent observations of small angular-scale anisotropy in the...
