CMB的统计各向异性作为保形滚动方案的探针

Statistical anisotropy of CMB as a probe of conformal rolling scenario

S. R. Ramazanov, G. I. Rubtsov

摘要:

在CMB数据中寻找统计各向异性是约束早期宇宙模型的有力工具。在本文中,我们集中在最近提出的宇宙学方案与共形滚动。我们考虑两个子方案,其中之一涉及一个漫长的中间阶段之间的共形滚动和常规热时代。在这些子场景中产生的原始标量扰动具有不同的方向相关功率谱,都由单一参数h^2表征。我们使用二次极大似然方法,首先应用于类似的目的,汉森和刘易斯在七年的WMAP数据中寻找这种各向异性的签名。我们确认了在V和W波段检测到的大四极各向异性,这被认为是源于系统效应,而不是宇宙学。我们构造参数h^2的估计量。在具有中间阶段的子场景的情况下,我们在95%的置信水平下设置上限h^2 < 0.045。在另一个子场景中,对h^2的约束要弱得多,因为没有中间阶段。

英文摘要:

Search for the statistical anisotropy in the CMB data is a powerful tool for constraining models of the early Universe. In this paper we focus on the recently proposed cosmological scenario with conformal rolling. We consider two sub-scenarios, one of which involves a long intermediate stage between conformal rolling and conventional hot epoch. Primordial scalar perturbations generated within these sub-scenarios have different direction-dependent power spectra, both characterized by a single parameter h^2. We search for the signatures of this anisotropy in the seven-year WMAP data using quadratic maximum likelihood method, first applied for similar purposes by Hanson and Lewis. We confirm the large quadrupole anisotropy detected in V and W bands, which has been argued to originate from systematic effects rather than from cosmology. We construct an estimator for the parameter h^2. In the case of the sub-scenario with the intermediate stage we set an upper limit h^2 < 0.045 at the 95% confidence level. The constraint on h^2 is much weaker in the case of another sub-scenario, where the intermediate stage is absent.
