二次非高斯性对用CMB映射寻找原始非高斯性的影响

Impact of Secondary non-Gaussianities on the Search for Primordial Non-Gaussianity with CMB Maps

Paolo Serra, Asantha Cooray

摘要:

当用宇宙微波背景各向异性图约束原始非高斯参数f_NL时,原始非高斯参数和次级非高斯参数之间的协方差对f_NL估计量的偏差通常被认为是可以忽略的。我们表明,这种假设可能不成立时,试图测量原始的非高斯性的角度尺度低于几十弧分的实验,如普朗克,特别是如果原始的非高斯性参数是周围的最小可探测性水平与f_NL之间的5和10。在未来,有必要联合估计CMB双谱的合并原始和次级贡献,并通过适当地解释次级非高斯性的混淆来建立f_NL。

英文摘要:

When constraining the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter f_NL with cosmic microwave background anisotropy maps, the bias resulting from the covariance between primordial non-Gaussianity and secondary non-Gaussianities to the estimator of f_NL is generally assumed to be negligible. We show that this assumption may not hold when attempting to measure the primordial non-Gaussianity out to angular scales below a few tens arcminutes with an experiment like Planck, especially if the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter is around the minimum detectability level with f_NL between 5 and 10. In future, it will be necessary to jointly estimate the combined primordial and secondary contributions to the CMB bispectrum and establish f_NL by properly accounting for the confusion from secondary non-Gaussianities.
