摘要:

宇宙微波背景(CMB)是宇宙大爆炸的残余辐射,它包含着丰富的宇宙学信息。对CMB的统计分析,结合其他宇宙学观测量,代表了宇宙学家可用的一些最强大的技术,用于对描述宇宙起源,内容和演化的宇宙学参数进行强有力的约束。在过去的十年里,小波分析在宇宙学中的引入,特别是它们在宇宙微波背景辐射中的应用。在这里,我们审查球小波分析的CMB测试标准宇宙学和谐模型。假设的温度各向异性的CMB是一个实现的统计各向同性的高斯随机场上的球受到质疑。从统计各向同性和高斯性的偏差被检测到在审查的作品,这表明更奇异的宇宙学模型可能需要解释我们的宇宙。我们还回顾了球面小波分析,独立提供的证据暗能量,我们的宇宙,其中我们知道的很少目前的异国情调的组成部分。正确的帐户的几何形状的全天空CMB数据的小波分析的球体的有效性证明了非常显着的检测的物理过程和影响,在这些审查工作。

英文摘要:

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a relic radiation of the Big Bang and as such it contains a wealth of cosmological information. Statistical analyses of the CMB, in conjunction with other cosmological observables, represent some of the most powerful techniques available to cosmologists for placing strong constraints on the cosmological parameters that describe the origin, content and evolution of the Universe. The last decade has witnessed the introduction of wavelet analyses in cosmology and, in particular, their application to the CMB. We review here spherical wavelet analyses of the CMB that test the standard cosmological concordance model. The assumption that the temperature anisotropies of the CMB are a realisation of a statistically isotropic Gaussian random field on the sphere is questioned. Deviations from both statistical isotropy and Gaussianity are detected in the reviewed works, suggesting more exotic cosmological models may be required to explain our Universe. We also review spherical wavelet analyses that independently provide evidence for dark energy, an exotic component of our Universe of which we know very little currently. The effectiveness of accounting correctly for the geometry of the sphere in the wavelet analysis of full-sky CMB data is demonstrated by the highly significant detections of physical processes and effects that are made in these reviewed works.
