摘要:

我们研究了原始等曲率扰动对CMB温度各向异性非高斯性质的影响。我们认为,通用形式的非线性等曲率扰动,可以应用到广泛的理论模型。我们推导出了CMB温度波动的双谱和Minkowski泛函的解析表达式来描述等曲率扰动的非高斯性。我们发现,二次等曲率模型中的等曲率非高斯性,其中等曲率扰动S被写为高斯变量sigma的二次函数,S=sigma^2-<sigma^2>,可以给出与f_NL=30相同的信噪比,即使我们对包含在原始功率谱α中的等曲率扰动的分数施加当前的观测限制。我们使用WMAP 5年的数据从闵可夫斯基泛函等曲率非高斯性的约束。我们没有发现一个显着的信号等曲率非高斯。对于二次等曲率模型,我们得到了严格的上限等曲率分数α <0.070(95%CL)的尺度不变的频谱,这是从功率谱得到的限制。

英文摘要:

We study the effect of primordial isocurvature perturbations on non-Gaussian properties of CMB temperature anisotropies. We consider generic forms of the non-linearity of isocurvature perturbations which can be applied to a wide range of theoretical models. We derive analytical expressions for the bispectrum and the Minkowski Functionals for CMB temperature fluctuations to describe the non-Gaussianity from isocurvature perturbations. We find that the isocurvature non-Gaussianity in the quadratic isocurvature model, where the isocurvature perturbation S is written as a quadratic function of the Gaussian variable sigma, S=sigma^2-<sigma^2>, can give the same signal-to-noise as f_NL=30 even if we impose the current observational limit on the fraction of isocurvature perturbations contained in the primordial power spectrum alpha. We give constraints on isocurvature non-Gaussianity from Minkowski Functionals using WMAP 5-year data. We do not find a significant signal of the isocurvature non-Gaussianity. For the quadratic isocurvature model, we obtain a stringent upper limit on the isocurvature fraction alpha<0.070 (95% CL) for a scale invariant spectrum which is comparable to the limit obtained from the power spectrum.
