No large-angle correlations on the non-Galactic microwave sky
We investigate the angular two-point correlation function of temperature in the WMAP maps. Updating and extending earlier results, we confirm the lack of correlations outside the Galaxy on angular scales greater than about 60 degrees at a level that would occur in 0.025 per cent of realizations of the concordance model. This represents a dramatic increase in significance from the original obser...
متن کاملSimulations of the Microwave Sky
We create realistic, full-sky, half-arcminute resolution simulations of the microwave sky matched to the most recent astrophysical observations. The primary purpose of these simulations is to test the data reduction pipeline for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) experiment; however, we have widened the frequency coverage beyond the ACT bands and utilized the easily accessible HEALPix map fo...
متن کاملruby of the sky
in a profoundly impressive verse in shahnameh, sky is likened to red ruby. the present paper is attempted to probe into the background of the conventional belief regarding the relationship between sky and stone, for the semantic structure of the verse is composed in such a way that it is not possible to consider this relationship as being a conceptualistic viewpoint so that one may establish so...
متن کاملSimulating full-sky interferometric observations
Aperture array interferometers, such as that proposed for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), will see the entire sky, hence the standard approach to simulating observed visibilities will not be applicable since it relies on a tangent plane approximation that is only valid for small fields of view. We derive the harmonic representation of the visibility function observed by an aperture array inte...
متن کاملPolarization and anisotropy of the microwave sky.
We study the polarization-polarization and polarization-temperature correlations in standard adiabatic scenarios for structure formation. Temperature anisotropies due to gravitational potential wells and oscillations in the photon-baryon-electron uid on the surface of last scattering are each associated with a correlated polarization pattern. While thècorrelated part' of the polarization has an...
