摘要:

计算了由Boltzmann方程中的二阶涨落引起的宇宙微波背景(CMB)温度各向异性的双谱。本文是关于二阶涨落双谱数值计算的系列论文之一,我们考虑的是一阶扰动的乘积项,而把重组历史中的二阶项和扰动留给后续的论文。我们发现,双谱具有最大的信号在压缩三角形,类似于本地型原始双谱,因为这两种类型的位置空间中的一阶项的产品通过产生非线性。然而,详细的计算表明,它们的形状有足够的不同:互相关系数在l_{max} ~ 200的最大多极达到0.5,然后在l_{max} ~ 2000减弱到0.3。形状上的差异源于(i)声振荡影响双谱的方式,以及(ii)二阶效应不是尺度不变的。这意味着由于二阶效应(来自一阶项的产物)而导致的原始双谱的污染很小。对于全天空宇宙方差有限的实验,在l_{max} ~ 2000时,一阶项乘积的预期信噪比为~ 0.4。因此,我们的结论是,产品的一阶项可以安全地忽略在未来的CMB实验的分析。局部形式f_{NL}的预期污染在l_{max} ~ 200时为f^{local}_{NL}~ 0.9,在l_{max} ~ 2000时为f^{local}_{NL}~ 0.5。

英文摘要:

We calculate the bispectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies induced by the second-order fluctuations in the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, which is one of a series of papers on the numerical calculation of the bispectrum from the second-order fluctuations, we consider the terms that are products of the first-order perturbations, and leave intrinsically second-order terms and perturbations in the recombination history to the subsequent papers. We show that the bispectrum has the maximum signal in the squeezed triangles, similar to the local-type primordial bispectrum, as both types generate non-linearities via products of the first-order terms in position space. However, detailed calculations show that their shapes are sufficiently different: the cross-correlation coefficient reaches 0.5 at the maximum multipole of l_{max}~ 200, and then weakens to 0.3 at l_{max}~ 2000. The differences in shape arise from (i) the way the acoustic oscillations affect the bispectrum, and (ii) the second-order effects not being scale-invariant. This implies that the contamination of the primordial bispectrum due to the second-order effects (from the products of the first-order terms) is small. The expected signal-to-noise ratio of the products of the first-order terms is ~ 0.4 at l_{max}~ 2000 for a full-sky, cosmic variance limited experiment. We therefore conclude that the products of the first-order terms may be safely ignored in the analysis of the future CMB experiments. The expected contamination of the local-form f_{NL} is f^{local}_{NL}~ 0.9 at l_{max}~ 200, and f^{local}_{NL}~ 0.5 at l_{max}~ 2000.
