Efficient Computation of Cmb Anisotropies in Closed Frw Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We implement the efficient line of sight method to calculate the anisotropy and polarization of the cosmic microwave background for scalar and tensor modes in almost-Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models with positive spatial curvature. We present new results for the polarization power spectra in such models. Subject headings: cosmic microwave background — cosmology: theory

A Complete Treatment of Cmb Anisotropies in a Frw Universe
We generalize the total angular momentum method for computing Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies to Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spaces with arbitrary geometries. This uni es the treatment of temperature and polarization anisotropies generated by scalar, vector and tensor perturbations of the fluid, seed, or a scalar eld, in a universe with constant comoving curvature. The resulting fo...
متن کاملMicrowave background anisotropies from gravitational waves: the 1+3 covariant approach
We present a 1+3 covariant discussion of the contribution of gravitational waves to the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) in an almost-Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe. Our discussion is based in the covariant approach to perturbations in cosmology, which provides a physically transparent and gauge-invariant methodology for CMB physics. Applying this approac...
متن کاملThe Covariant Perturbative Approach to Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
The Ehlers-Ellis 1+3 formulation of covariant hydrodynamics, when supplemented with covariant radiative transport theory, gives an exact, physically transparent description of the physics of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). Linearisation around a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe provides a very direct and seamless route through to the linear, gaugeinvariant perturbation...
متن کاملMeasurement of the gravitational potential evolution from the cross-correlation between WMAP and the APM Galaxy survey
Models with late time cosmic acceleration, such as the Λ-dominated CDM model, predict a freeze out for the growth of linear gravitational potential at moderate redshift z < 1, what can be observed as temperature anisotropies in the CMB: the so called integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect. We present a direct measurement of the ISW effect based on the angular cross-correlation function, wTG(θ), of...
