一种新的从遮蔽的CMB天空重构各向同性破坏信号的方法
A novel approach to reconstructing signals of isotropy violation from a masked CMB sky
摘要:
统计各向同性(SI)是建立宇宙学模型的基本假设之一。这个假设现在正在用几乎全天空的CMB各向异性测量进行严格的检验。任何此类分析中的一个主要障碍是处理由于掩蔽过程而引起的大偏差。我们已经开发了一种新的分析方法,使用双极球谐基函数,在其中,我们半解析地评估由掩模引起的SI违反的修改。这里开发的方法是通用的,可以潜在地用于搜索任何任意形式的SI违反。我们具体证明了这种方法的工作,通过恢复多普勒增强信号从一组模拟的,掩蔽的CMB天空。
英文摘要:
Statistical isotropy (SI) is one of the fundamental assumptions made in cosmological model building. This assumption is now being rigorously tested using the almost full sky measurements of the CMB anisotropies. A major hurdle in any such analysis is to handle the large biases induced due to the process of masking. We have developed a new method of analysis, using the bipolar spherical harmonic basis functions, in which we semi-analytically evaluate the modifications to SI violation induced by the mask. The method developed here is generic and can be potentially used to search for any arbitrary form of SI violation. We specifically demonstrate the working of this method by recovering the Doppler boost signal from a set of simulated, masked CMB skies.
