检验宇宙的高斯性和统计各向同性

Testing the Gaussianity and Statistical Isotropy of the Universe

Dragan Huterer, Eiichiro Komatsu, Sarah Shandera

摘要:

在过去的几年里,人们对测量功率谱之外的原始波动的统计数据感到兴奋。对数据中的高斯性和统计各向同性进行精确测试的新想法正在与广泛的新理论可能性的建议同时发展。从观测和理论来看,很明显,即将到来的测量具有巨大的发现潜力。在这期《天文学进展》特刊中,我们收集了一些文章,总结了从各种潜在来源偏离高斯性或统计各向同性的理论预测,以及使用CMB或大尺度结构测试这些性质的观测方法。我们希望这个集合提供了一个可访问的切入点,这些主题,因为他们目前的立场,指出什么方向未来的发展可能采取和演示为什么这些问题是如此引人注目。特刊可在http://www.hindawi.com/journals/aa/2010/si.gsiu.html上查阅,个别文章也可在arXiv上查阅。

英文摘要:

The last few years have seen a surge in excitement about measurements of statistics of the primordial fluctuations beyond the power spectrum. New ideas for precision tests of Gaussianity and statistical isotropy in the data are developing simultaneously with proposals for a wide range of new theoretical possibilities. From both the observations and theory, it has become clear that there is a huge discovery potential from upcoming measurements. In this Special Issue of Advances in Astronomy we have collected articles that summarize the theoretical predictions for departures from Gaussianity or statistical isotropy from a variety of potential sources, together with the observational approaches to test these properties using the CMB or large-scale structure. We hope this collection provides an accessible entry point to these topics as they currently stand, indicating what direction future developments may take and demonstrating why these questions are so compelling. The Special Issue is available at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/aa/2010/si.gsiu.html, and individual articles are also available on the arXiv.
