The Rees-Sciama effect and the primordial nucleosynthesis
نویسنده
چکیده
It is known that, theoretically, the Rees-Sciama effect may cause arbitrarily large additional redshifts in the cosmic microwave background radiation due to transparent expanding voids having sizes comparable with the size of horizon. Therefore, again theoretically, eventual huge voids existing immediately after the recombination may essentially change the predictions of the theory of big bang nucleosynthesis. If this eventuality holds, then the dark matter can be dominantly baryonic and, simultaneously, one can be in accordance with the predictions of primordial nucleosynthesis theory. Studying this eventuality one arrives at the result that the observed extreme isotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation rejects the existence of any such huge voids, and hence this eventuality does not hold.

Effect of Void Network on CMB Anisotropy
We study the effect of a void network on the CMB anisotropy in the Einstein-de Sitter background using Thompson & Vishniac’s model. We consider comprehensively the Sacks-Wolfe effect, the Rees-Sciama effect and the gravitational lensing effect. Our analysis includes the model of primordial voids existing at recombination, which is realized in some inflationary models associated with a first-ord...
متن کاملOn the Rees-Sciama effect: maps and statistics
Small maps of the Rees-Sciama (RS) effect are simulated by using an appropriate N-body code and a certain ray-tracing procedure. A method designed for the statistical analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps is applied to study the resulting simulations. These techniques, recently proposed –by our team– to consider lens deformations of the CMB, are adapted to deal with the RS effect. ...
متن کاملLooking for Λ with the Rees-Sciama Effect
In models with a cosmological constant, a significant component of the large scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy is produced at rather low redshifts, z <∼ 1. In these models, the gravitational potential perturbations begin to evolve at late times. Photons passing through these time varying potentials aquire frequency shifts, an effect first noted by Rees and Sciama. Since the gra...
متن کاملMicrowave Sky and the Local Rees–Sciama Effect
The microwave sky shows unexpected features at the largest angular scales, among them the alignments of the dipole, quadrupole and octopole. Motivated by recent X-ray cluster studies, we investigate the possibility that local structures at the 100 hMpc scale could be responsible for such correlations. These structures give rise to a local Rees–Sciama contribution to the microwave sky that may a...
متن کاملRees-Sciama Effect in a CDM Universe
The Rees-Sciama (RS) effect produces fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) through the time-dependent gravitational potential in the nonlinear stages of evolution. I investigate the RS effect on the CMB angular power spectrum Cl for several CDM models by combining the results of N-body simulations with second order perturbation theory. The amplitude of the RS fluctuations peaks ...
