Camila P. Novaes, Micol Benetti, Armando Bernui

摘要:

我们使用Minkowski泛函来研究模拟的宇宙微波背景(CMB)图中存在的非高斯特征。准确地说,我们分析了产生的非高斯角功率谱出现从一类暴胀模型与原始的阶梯状潜力。这类模型能够执行最佳拟合的低- $\ell$的“功能”,揭示了第一次在CMB角功率谱的WMAP实验,然后证实了普朗克合作地图。事实上,这样的模型产生的原始功率谱的标量扰动,然后在大尺度的CMB字段的印记振荡功能。有趣的是,我们发现高斯偏差的CMB地图模拟从这些模型产生的功率谱,相比高斯$Λ$ CDM地图。此外,我们还表明,在这些模拟CMB地图中产生的非高斯性的种类和水平是兼容的,发现在四个前景清洁普朗克地图。我们的研究结果表明,暴胀模型与阶梯状的潜力不仅能够提高最佳拟合方面的$Λ$ CDM模型会计以及在CMB角功率谱中观察到的“功能”,但也提出了一个可能的起源为某些非高斯签名普朗克数据中观察到的。

英文摘要:

We use Minkowski Functionals to explore the presence of non-Gaussian signatures in simulated cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. Precisely, we analyse the non-Gaussianities produced from the angular power spectra emerging from a class of inflationary models with a primordial step-like potential. This class of models are able to perform the best-fit of the low-$\ell$ `features', revealed first in the CMB angular power spectrum by the WMAP experiment and then confirmed by the Planck collaboration maps. Indeed, such models generate oscillatory features in the primordial power spectrum of scalar perturbations, that are then imprinted in the large scales of the CMB field. Interestingly, we discover Gaussian deviations in the CMB maps simulated from the power spectra produced by these models, as compared with Gaussian $Λ$CDM maps. Moreover, we also show that the kind and level of the non-Gaussianities produced in these simulated CMB maps are compatible with that found in the four foreground-cleaned Planck maps. Our results indicate that inflationary models with a step-like potential are not only able to improve the best-fit respect to the $Λ$CDM model accounting well for the `features' observed in the CMB angular power spectrum, but also suggesting a possible origin for certain non-Gaussian signatures observed in the Planck data.
