摘要:

银河系低频弥散辐射是研究红移$21$ cm线的主要污染物。去除这些前景是必不可少的利用信号从中性氢在高红移。因此,分析前景及其特点至关重要。通常使用模拟前景来测试前景去除技术的功效。大多数仿真假设前景信号的分布是高斯随机场。在这项工作中,我们测试这一假设,通过计算全天空$408$ MHz地图的分箱双谱。这是通过应用不同的亮度温度($T$)阈值来完成的,以便评估天空中较冷的部分是否具有不同的特征。我们发现,区域具有低亮度温度$T < 25$ K确实有较小的偏离高斯分布。因此,这些区域的天空是理想的未来H{ \sc i}强度映射调查。

英文摘要:

Diffuse Galactic emission at low frequencies is a major contaminant for studies of redshifted $21$ cm line studies. Removal of these foregrounds is essential for exploiting the signal from neutral hydrogen at high redshifts. Analysis of foregrounds and its characteristics is thus of utmost importance. It is customary to test efficacy of foreground removal techniques using simulated foregrounds. Most simulations assume that the distribution of the foreground signal is a Gaussian random field. In this work we test this assumption by computing the binned bispectrum for the all-sky $408$ MHz map. This is done by applying different brightness temperature ($T$) thresholds in order to assess whether the cooler parts of the sky have different characteristics. We find that regions with a low brightness temperature $T < 25$ K indeed have smaller departures from a Gaussian distribution. Therefore, these regions of the sky are ideal for future H{\sc i} intensity mapping surveys.
