متن کاملGaussianity of Degree-Scale Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Observations
We present results from a first test of the Gaussianity of degree-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy. We investigate Gaussianity of the CMB anisotropy by studying the topology of CMB anisotropy maps from the QMAP and Saskatoon experiments. We also study the QMASK map, a combination map of the QMAP and Saskatoon data. We measure the genus from noise-suppressed Wienerfiltered maps...
متن کاملTheoretical Overview of Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy
The theoretical basis for the prediction of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background is very well developed. Very low amplitude density and temperature perturbations produce small gravitational effects, leading to an anisotropy that is a combination of temperature fluctuations at the surface of last scattering and gravitational redshifts both at last scattering and along the path to the ...
متن کاملAnisotropy Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is one of only a few physically observable remnants of the early Universe. Studies of the spectrum, polarization and spatial distribution of the CMB can potentially lead to a detailed understanding of the processes that took place in the early Universe. Many of the outstanding cosmological questions regarding the age, contents, future, and large scale dynam...
متن کاملThe effect of lensing on the large-scale cosmic microwave background anisotropy
We first compare the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing model of Seljak with the empirical model of Lieu & Mittaz to determine if the latter approach implies a larger effect on the CMB power spectrum. We find that the empirical model gives significantly higher results for the magnification dispersion, σ , at small scales (θ < 30 arcmin) than that of Seljak, assuming standard cosmological...
