Effects of CMB temperature uncertainties on cosmological parameter estimation
We estimate the effect of the experimental uncertainty in the measurement of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on the extraction of cosmological parameters from future CMB surveys. We find that even for an ideal experiment limited only by cosmic variance up to l = 2500 for both the temperature and polarisation measurements, the projected cosmological parameter errors are ...
متن کاملTHE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND : PRESENT STATUS AND COSMOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES Cosmological Parameter Estimation : Method
CMB anisotropy data could put powerful constraints on theories of the evolution of our Universe. Using the observations of the large number of CMB experiments, many studies have put constraints on cosmological parameters assuming different frameworks. Assuming for example inflationary paradigm, one can compute the confidence intervals on the different components of the energy densities, or the ...
متن کاملEffects of Cosmological Moduli Fields on Cosmic Microwave Background
We discuss effects of cosmological moduli fields on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). If a modulus field φ once dominates the universe, the CMB we observe today is from the decay of φ and its anisotropy is affected by the primordial fluctuation in the amplitude of the modulus field. Consequently, constraints on the inflaton potential from the CMB anisotropy can be relaxed. In particular, t...
متن کاملTHE CMB SPECTRUM Cosmic Microwave Background
The observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation provides strong evidence for the hot big bang. The success of primordial nucleosynthesis calculations (“Big-bang nucleosynthesis”) requires a cosmic background radiation (CBR) characterized by a temperature kT ∼ 1MeV at a redshift of z ≃ 109. In their pioneering work, Gamow, Alpher, and Herman[2] realized this and predicted the existence ...
متن کاملGravitational lensing of cosmic microwave background anisotropies and cosmological parameter estimation
Gravitational lensing, caused by matter perturbations along the line-of-sight to the last scattering surface, can modify the shape of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy power spectrum. We discuss the detectability of lensing distortions to both the temperature and polarisation anisotropy power spectra and we analyse how lensing might affect the estimation of cosmological parameter...
