极化CMB前景图的统计性质

Statistical properties of polarized CMB foreground maps

Sebastian von Hausegger, Aske Gammelgaard Ravnebjerg, Hao Liu

摘要:

用于CMB分析的前景去除技术对前景在温度和偏振方面的特性做出具体假设。通过研究前景成分的统计数据,可以更好地了解这些假设的有效程度。在这项工作中,我们调查$E$和$B$模式地图的两个最强的偏振前景,同步辐射和热尘埃排放,关于他们的相似性与高斯过程,他们的光谱变化和互相关。我们在$\sim3.7^\circ$大小的补丁集体覆盖整个天空进行测试,并发现其中大多数符合他们的高斯期望,根据使用的统计。相关性在$E$ -和$B$ -模式信号中表现出明显的差异,其指向前景去除方法中的必要性。我们讨论了潜在的后果和可能的进一步方向。

英文摘要:

Foreground removal techniques for CMB analyses make specific assumptions about the properties of foregrounds in temperature and in polarization. By investigating the statistics of foreground components more understanding about the degree to which these assumptions are valid can be obtained. In this work we investigate $E$- and $B$-mode maps of the two strongest polarized foregrounds, synchrotron and thermal dust emission, with regards to their similarity with Gaussian processes, their spectral variations and cross-correlations. We perform tests in patches of $\sim3.7^\circ$ size collectively covering the full sky and find most of them to conform with their Gaussian expectation according to the statistics in use. Correlations exhibit distinct differences in $E$- and $B$-mode signals which point towards necessities in foreground removal methods. We discuss potential consequences and possible further directions.
