摘要:

原始磁场(PMF)的存在会影响宇宙微波背景(CMB)的温度和极化各向异性。它还提供了一个合理的解释可能的观测和理论拟合CMB功率谱之间的差距。在这里,我们报告的计算不仅从PMF的数值CMB功率谱,但也从PMF和主曲率扰动的CMB功率谱之间的相关性。然后,我们推导出一个精确的估计PMF的影响,所有模式的扰动。我们发现保偏场不仅在小角度尺度上影响CMB的TT和TE模,而且在大角度尺度上也有影响。PMF的引入导致更好地拟合CMB功率谱的更高的多极子,并且在最低多极子处的拟合可以用于约束PMF与谱指数的大负值的密度波动的相关性。我们对保偏场平均场强$|B_λ| =4.0$ nG的BB模的预测与从最新的CMB观测中推导出的BB模的上限是一致的。我们发现,BB模式是占主导地位的矢量模式的保偏光纤更高的多极。我们还表明,通过拟合完整的功率谱,可以打破PMF振幅和其功率谱指数之间的简并性。

英文摘要:

The existence of a primordial magnetic field (PMF) would affect both the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It also provides a plausible explanation for the possible disparity between observations and theoretical fits to the CMB power spectrum. Here we report on calculations of not only the numerical CMB power spectrum from the PMF, but also the correlations between the CMB power spectrum from the PMF and the primary curvature perturbations. We then deduce a precise estimate of the PMF effect on all modes of perturbations. We find that the PMF affects not only the CMB TT and TE modes on small angular scales, but also on large angular scales. The introduction of a PMF leads to a better fit to the CMB power spectrum for the higher multipoles, and the fit at lowest multipoles can be used to constrain the correlation of the PMF with the density fluctuations for large negative values of the spectral index. Our prediction for the BB mode for a PMF average field strength $|B_λ| =4.0$ nG is consistent with the upper limit on the BB mode deduced from the latest CMB observations. We find that the BB mode is dominated by the vector mode of the PMF for higher multipoles. We also show that by fitting the complete power spectrum one can break the degeneracy between the PMF amplitude and its power spectral index.
