CMB Optical Depth Measurements: Past, Present, Future
The polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is encoded with exactly the same cosmic information as the CMB’s temperature anisotropy. However, polarization has the additional promise of accurately probing the reionization history of the universe and potentially constraining, or detecting, the primordial background of gravitational waves produced by inflation. We demonstrate that th...
متن کاملCmb Signatures of Extended Reionization
I comment on the challenges and opportunities presented by an extended period of reionization.
متن کاملReionization Revisited: Secondary Cmb Anisotropies and Polarization
Secondary CMB anisotropies and polarization provide a laboratory to study structure formation in the reionized epoch. We consider the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect from mildly nonlinear large-scale structure and show that it is a natural extension of the perturbative Vishniac effect. If the gas traces the dark matter to overdensities of order 10, as expected from simulations, this effect is...
متن کاملPolarized CMB: Reionization and Primordial Tensor modes
We discuss upcoming opportunities with cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations during the post-WMAP era. The curlmodes of CMB polarization probe inflationary gravitational waves (IGWs). While a significant source of confusion is expected from cosmic shear conversion of polarization related to density perturbations, higher resolution observations of CMB anisotropies can be used for a lens...
متن کاملRedshifted 21 cm Emission From the Pre-Reionization Era I. Mean Signal and Linear Fluctuations
We use cosmological simulations of reionization to predict the possible signal from the redshifted 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen in the pre-reionization era and to investigate the observability of this signal. We show that the separation of the mean (global) signal over the whole sky from the known foreground contamination may be feasible, but very challenging. In agreement with previous studi...
