The degree scale feature in the CMB spectrum in the fractal universe

چکیده
The position of the degree scale feature in the CMB spectrum is determined within the framework of the fractal universe with a power index of 2. The presence of any feature in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy spectrum whose physical scale is known provides us with the ability to perform the angular diameter distance test [1]. Any feature progects as an anisotropy onto an angular scale associated with multipole leff = kd (1) where k is the size of the feature in k-space, d is the angular diameter distance to the feature. Anisotropy measurements on degree scales pin down the feature in the CMB spectrum. The position of the feature is leff = 263 [2], leff = 260 [3]. In the Friedmann universe, the degree scale feature is considered to arise due to acoustic oscillations in the photon-baryon fluid at last scattering. The feature represents the sound horizon when the universe recombines. The potential fluctuation ∆M/M is a relation of the scales. The mass M defines the scale of homogeneity. The mass ∆M defines the scale of fluctuations. The scale of homogeneity can be specified with the distance r covered by the CMB photon. The distance r gives the mass of radiation M restricted within r. Then the size of the potential fluctuation ∆r is defined via the value ∆M/M . The size of the potential fluctuation ∆r represents the feature in the CMB spectrum, with the value r being the distance to the feature. Determine the above feature in the CMB spectrum within the framework of the universe with the linear evolution law [4]. The model is based on the premise that the evolution of the universe is not defined by the matter but is a priori specified. The scale factor of the universe is a linear function of time a = ct. (2) The scale of mass is a linear function of the scale factor

The universal potential fluctuations
It is assumed the existence of the universal potential fluctuations valid for all scales in the universe which follow the fractal law δU = (∆r/r) . The value of the universal potential fluctuations is determined from the data on anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background on degree scales. It is suggested to test the existence of the universal potential fluctuations in the laboratory experime...

Observational evidence for the presence of a preferred scale around 100 Mpc in the distribution of high-density regions in the Universe is summarised. Toy models with various degrees of regularity are analysed to understand better the observational data. Predictions of models which produce a feature on the initial power spectrum of matter are analysed and compared with new observational data on...
متن کاملJoint Cosmological Inference from Galaxy Surveys, the Cosmic Microwave Background and the X-ray Background
We discuss cosmological inference from galaxy surveys, the XRay Background (XRB) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). We assume a family of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models in a spatially flat universe with an initially scale-invariant spectrum and a cosmological constant. Joint analysis of the CMB and IRAS resdhift surveys yields as optimal parameters (for fixed Ωbh 2 = 0.024): Ωm = 1 − ΩΛ ...

Models which accelerate the expansion of the universe through the addition of a function of the Ricci scalar f(R) leave a characteristic signature in the large-scale structure of the universe at the Compton wavelength scale of the extra scalar degree of freedom. We search for such a signature in current cosmological data sets: the WMAP cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum, SNLS supe...
متن کاملSonifying the Cosmic Microwave Background
We present a new technique to sonify the power spectrum of the map of temperature anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the oldest observable light of the universe. According to the Standard Cosmological Model, the universe began in a hot, dense state, and the first 380,000 years of its existence were dominated by a tightly coupled plasma of baryons and photons, which was permeat...
