在CMB地图中检验大角度偏离高斯性

Testing large-angle deviation from Gaussianity in CMB maps

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

摘要:

检测CMB数据中的非高斯性水平对于区分暴胀模型和测试替代原始情景至关重要。然而,提取原始的非高斯性是一个困难的努力,因为非原始性质的几种影响可以产生非高斯性。另一方面,不同的统计工具原则上可以提供关于不同形式的非高斯性的信息。因此,任何单一的统计估计量都不可能对所有可能的非高斯形式敏感。在这方面,为了弄清CMB数据偏离高斯性的潜在来源,必须使用不同的统计指标。在最近的一篇论文中,我们提出了两个新的大角度非高斯指标,提供了大角度尺度上偏离高斯的措施。我们使用这些指标进行分析的波段和前景减少WMAP地图的非高斯性和没有KQ75掩模。在这里,我们简要回顾了非高斯指标的制定,并讨论了使用我们的指标所做的分析。

英文摘要:

A detection of the level of non-Gaussianity in the CMB data is essential to discriminate among inflationary models and also to test alternative primordial scenarios. However, the extraction of primordial non-Gaussianity is a difficult endeavor since several effects of non-primordial nature can produce non-Gaussianity. On the other hand, different statistical tools can in principle provide information about distinct forms of non-Gaussianity. Thus, any single statistical estimator cannot be sensitive to all possible forms of non-Gaussianity. In this context, to shed some light in the potential sources of deviation from Gaussianity in CMB data it is important to use different statistical indicators. In a recent paper we proposed two new large-angle non-Gaussianity indicators which provide measures of the departure from Gaussianity on large angular scales. We used these indicators to carry out analyses of non-Gaussianity of the bands and of the foreground-reduced WMAP maps with and without the KQ75 mask. Here we briefly review the formulation of the non-Gaussianity indicators, and discuss the analyses made by using our indicators.
