CMB温度不确定性对宇宙学参数估计的影响

Effects of CMB temperature uncertainties on cosmological parameter estimation

Jan Hamann, Yvonne Y. Y. Wong

摘要:

我们估计的实验不确定性的影响,在测量的温度的宇宙微波背景(CMB)的宇宙学参数的提取从未来的CMB调查。我们发现,即使是一个理想的实验仅限于宇宙方差高达l = 2500的温度和偏振测量,预计宇宙学参数的误差是非常强大的对1 mK的不确定性的FIRAS仪器的CMB温度测量。对于重子密度估计,相对于已知重子密度的情况,灵敏度的最大下降是20%。虽然这一下降是可以接受的,但我们注意到,将目前温度测量的不确定性降低五倍将使其下降到百分之一的水平。我们还估计了偶极温度测量中的不确定性的影响。假设数据的总体校准由FIRAS的0.2%偶极误差主导,灵敏度下降不显著,在任何参数方向上都不超过10%。

英文摘要:

We estimate the effect of the experimental uncertainty in the measurement of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on the extraction of cosmological parameters from future CMB surveys. We find that even for an ideal experiment limited only by cosmic variance up to l = 2500 for both the temperature and polarisation measurements, the projected cosmological parameter errors are remarkably robust against the uncertainty of 1 mK in the FIRAS instrument's CMB temperature monopole measurement. The maximum degradation in sensitivity is 20%, for the baryon density estimate, relative to the case in which the monopole is known infinitely well. While this degradation is acceptable, we note that reducing the uncertainty in the current temperature measurement by a factor of five will bring it down to the per cent level. We also estimate the effect of the uncertainty in the dipole temperature measurement. Assuming the overall calibration of the data to be dominated by the dipole error of 0.2% from FIRAS, the sensitivity degradation is insignificant and does not exceed 10% in any parameter direction.
