CMB带图的高斯性研究

A Study of Gaussianity in CMB band maps

A. Bernui, M. J. Rebouças, A. F. F. Teixeira

摘要:

在CMB数据中检测到非高斯性将排除一些暴胀模型。相反,对非高斯性的零检测将排除早期宇宙的替代模型。因此,在CMB数据中检测或未检测到原始非高斯性对于区分暴胀模型和测试替代方案至关重要。然而,有各种非高斯性的非宇宙学来源。这使得重要的是,采用不同的指标,以检测不同形式的非高斯CMB数据。最近,我们提出了两个新的指标来衡量偏离高斯在大角度尺度上,并使用它们来研究的原始波段WMAP地图的高斯性与KQ75掩模。在这里,我们扩展这项工作,使用这些指标进行类似的分析,从高斯的前景减少Q,V和W波段地图的偏差。我们发现,有一个显着的偏离高斯在所考虑的全天空地图,这是减少到一个符合高斯的水平时,采用KQ75掩模。

英文摘要:

The detection of non-Gaussianity in the CMB data would rule out a number of inflationary models. A null detection of non-Gaussianity, instead, would exclude alternative models for the early universe. Thus, a detection or non-detection of primordial non-Gaussianity in the CMB data is crucial to discriminate among inflationary models, and to test alternative scenarios. However, there are various non-cosmological sources of non-Gaussianity. This makes important to employ different indicators in order to detect distinct forms of non-Gaussianity in CMB data. Recently, we proposed two new indicators to measure deviation from Gaussianity on large angular scales, and used them to study the Gaussianity of the raw band WMAP maps with and without the KQ75 mask. Here we extend this work by using these indicators to perform similar analyses of deviation from Gaussianity of the foreground-reduced Q, V, and W band maps. We show that there is a significant deviation from Gaussianity in the considered full-sky maps, which is reduced to a level consistent with Gaussianity when the KQ75 mask is employed.
