Extragalactic sources in Cosmic Microwave Background maps
We discuss the potential of a next generation space-borne CMB experiment for studies of extragalactic sources with reference to COrE+, a project submitted to ESA in response to the call for a Medium-size mission (M4). We consider three possible options for the telescope size: 1m, 1.5m and 2m (although the last option is probably impractical, given the M4 boundary conditions). The proposed instr...
متن کاملInterpretation of the Extragalactic Radio Background
We use absolutely calibrated data between 3 and 90 GHz from the 2006 balloon flight of the ARCADE 2 instrument, along with previous measurements at other frequencies, to constrain models of extragalactic emission. Such emission is a combination of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) monopole, Galactic foreground emission, the integrated contribution of radio emission from external galaxies, a...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Baryon Fraction and the Extragalactic Ionizing Background
We reassess constraints on the cosmological baryon density from observations of the mean decrement and power spectrum of the Lyman-α forest, taking into account uncertainties in all free parameters in the simplest gravitational instability model. The uncertainty is dominated by that of the photoionizing background, but incomplete knowledge of the thermal state of the intergalactic medium also c...
متن کاملThe Extragalactic Neutrino Background Radiations From Blazars and Cosmic Rays
Blazar emission of gamma rays and cosmic ray production of gamma rays in gas-rich clusters have been proposed recently as alternative sources of the high energy extragalactic diffuse gamma ray background radiation. We show that these sources also produce a very different high energy extragalactic diffuse neutrino background radiation. This neutrino background may be detected by the new generati...
متن کاملIs there evidence for cosmic anisotropy in the polarization of distant radio sources?
Measurements of the polarization angle and orientation of cosmological radio sources may be used to search for unusual effects in the propagation of light through the universe. Recently, Nodland and Ralston have claimed to find evidence for a redshiftand direction-dependent rotation effect in existing data. We re-examine these data and argue that there is no statistically significant signal pre...
