摘要:

在大角度尺度上(大于60度),由威尔金森微波各向异性探测器(Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe)在银河系平面外测量的宇宙微波背景(CMB)温度的两点角关联函数,显示出比标准暴胀宇宙学模型所预期的要低得多的大角度相关。此外,当从整个宇宙微波背景辐射的天空中导出时,两个最低的宇宙学上有趣的多极子,四极(l=2)和八极(l=3),出乎意料地彼此对齐。使用随机生成的全天空和切天空地图,我们调查这些异常是否在统计上显着的水平相关。我们最终证明,假设高斯随机和统计各向同性的CMB各向异性,有没有统计上的显着相关性的大角度尺度上的CMB和对齐的l=2和l=3多极的失踪的权力。因此,在这种缺乏大角度相关性和低多极子排列的情况下测量天空的机会被量化为低于10^{-6}。

英文摘要:

On large angular scales (greater than about 60 degrees), the two-point angular correlation function of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), as measured (outside of the plane of the Galaxy) by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, shows significantly lower large-angle correlations than expected from the standard inflationary cosmological model. Furthermore, when derived from the full CMB sky, the two lowest cosmologically interesting multipoles, the quadrupole (l=2) and the octopole (l=3), are unexpectedly aligned with each other. Using randomly generated full-sky and cut-sky maps, we investigate whether these anomalies are correlated at a statistically significant level. We conclusively demonstrate that, assuming Gaussian random and statistically isotropic CMB anisotropies, there is no statistically significant correlation between the missing power on large angular scales in the CMB and the alignment of the l=2 and l=3 multipoles. The chance to measure the sky with both such a lack of large-angle correlation and such an alignment of the low multipoles is thus quantified to be below 10^{-6}.
