极化图CMB的E/B分解的小波-Galerkin算法

A wavelet-Galerkin algorithm of the E/B decomposition of CMB polarization maps

Liang Cao, Li-Zhi Fang

摘要:

本文提出了一种从有限区域内Stokes参数$Q$和$U$的离散化噪声图中分离出CMB偏振的$E$和$B$模式的算法。该算法的一个关键步骤是对$E$、$B$和$Q$、$U$场之间的微分关系进行小波Galerkin离散。这种离散化允许导算子用一个矩阵来表示,该矩阵在尺度空间中完全对角,在空间空间中窄带状。我们表明,边界的影响可以消除通过丢弃几个DWT模式位于或附近的边界。该方法揭示了当$Q$和$U$图含有高斯噪声时,导数算子在小尺度下会使$E$和$B$的功率谱产生较大的误差.它还表明,如果$Q$和$U$映射是随机的,这些字段导致混合的$E$和$B$模式。因此,如果$E$模式的功率比$B$模式的功率大得多,则$B$模式将被污染。然而,数值试验表明,$E$和$B$两者在比最精细尺度大4倍或更高的尺度上的功率谱可以合理地恢复,即使当$E$ -与$B$ -模式的功率比大到大约10 $^2$,并且信噪比等于10或更高时。这是因为Galerkin离散化没有错误的相关性,并保持污染在控制之下。由于小波变量同时包含了空间和尺度空间的信息,该方法也能有效地恢复$E$和$B$模场的空间结构.

英文摘要:

We develop an algorithm of separating the $E$ and $B$ modes of the CMB polarization from the noisy and discretized maps of Stokes parameter $Q$ and $U$ in a finite area. A key step of the algorithm is to take a wavelet-Galerkin discretization of the differential relation between the $E$, $B$ and $Q$, $U$ fields. This discretization allows derivative operator to be represented by a matrix, which is exactly diagonal in scale space, and narrowly banded in spatial space. We show that the effect of boundary can be eliminated by dropping a few DWT modes located on or nearby the boundary. This method reveals that the derivative operators will cause large errors in the $E$ and $B$ power spectra on small scales if the $Q$ and $U$ maps contain Gaussian noise. It also reveals that if the $Q$ and $U$ maps are random, these fields lead to the mixing of the $E$ and $B$ modes. Consequently, the $B$ mode will be contaminated if the powers of $E$ modes are much larger than that of $B$ modes. Nevertheless, numerical tests show that the power spectra of both $E$ and $B$ on scales larger than the finest scale by a factor of 4 and higher can reasonably be recovered, even when the power ratio of $E$- to $B$-modes is as large as about 10$^2$, and the signal-to-noise ratio is equal to 10 and higher. This is because the Galerkin discretization is free of false correlations, and keeps the contamination under control. As wavelet variables contain information of both spatial and scale spaces, the developed method is also effective to recover the spatial structures of the $E$ and $B$ mode fields.
