چکیده

We present a novel method for generation of sets of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy maps, which reproduces the ∆l = 2 correlations associated with Alfvén turbulence. The method is based on the non-linear transformation of the CMB maps, which is obtained from the Monte Carlo simulation of the statistically isotropic Gaussian signal. Our method is computationally fast and efficient. We have applied two estimators (the cross-correlation estimator in multipole domain for l+1,m and l−1,mmodes and circular phase moments) to test the statistical properties of derived maps. Both of these statistics confirm the effectiveness of our generation method. We believe that our method can be useful for fast generation of the non-Gaussian maps in the presence of the primordial magnetic field, and be a valuable tool for the non-Gaussianity investigation of the CMB in the framework of the future PLANCK data analysis.

EPSS - 2 D : a fast computer code for simulating all – sky maps of clustered extragalactic point sources

We present a fast computer code based on a simple algorithm for simulating realistic 2D distributions of clustered extragalactic point sources (EPS) in flat patches of the sky as well as in the whole sky. By this method we are able to provide new predictions on the angular power spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations due to undetected EPS which improve on previous ones. Both...

Lensed CMB temperature and polarization maps from the Millennium Simulation

We have constructed the first all-sky CMB temperature and polarization lensed maps based on a high-resolution cosmological N -body simulation, the Millennium Simulation (MS). We have exploited the lensing potential map obtained using a map-making procedure (Carbone et al. 2008) which integrates along the line-of-sight the MS dark matter distribution by stacking and randomizing the simulation bo...

Auto and cross correlation of phases of the whole-sky CMB and foreground maps from the 1-year WMAP data

The issue of non-Gaussianity is not only related to distinguishing the theories of the origin of primordial fluctuations, but also crucial for the determination of cosmological parameters in the framework of inflation paradigm. We present an advenced method for testing non-Gaussianity on the whole-sky CMB anisotropies. This method is based on the Kuiper’s statistic to probe the two-dimensional ...

Flow simulation of gallium in a cylindrical annulus in the presence of a magnetic field for improving the casting process

Free convection flow in an enclosure filled with a congealing melt leads to the product with a nonuniform structure involving large grains. The convective flows are decreased by applying an appropriate magnetic field, obtaining uniform and small grain structures. In this work, using the finite volume method, we investigated the application of a magnetic field to the convective heat transfer and...

Topological Analysis of Cobe-dmr Cmb Maps

Geometric characteristics of random fields are exploited to test the consistency of density perturbation model spectra with COBE data. These CMB maps are analyzed using the number of anisotropy hot spots and their boundary curvature. CMB maps which account for instrumental effects and sky coverage are Monte Carlo generated. These simulations show that a scale invariant HarrisonZeldovich primord...
