偏振星系前景的双谱

The bispectrum of polarized galactic foregrounds

William R. Coulton, David N. Spergel

摘要:

了解银河系毫米波辐射的性质对于研究宇宙微波背景(CMB)具有重要意义。在这项工作中,我们探讨了双谱,三点函数的谐波等效,从银河尘埃和同步辐射。我们研究了这些影响在广泛的频率范围内使用同步加速器占主导地位的S波段偏振全天巡天(SPASS)地图在2.3 GHz,普朗克卫星地图(30-857 GHz)和灰尘占主导地位的红外天文卫星(IRAS)地图在3太赫兹。我们测量双谱的总强度场,T,以及梯度,E,和旋度模式,B,偏振场。我们发现同步辐射和银河尘埃都有很强的温度双谱,在压缩极限下有很大的贡献,这一结果揭示了两个小尺度模与一个大尺度模之间的关联。此外,我们发现,尘埃也有很强的偏振双谱,也在压缩配置的峰值。我们探索宇称奇双谱,如BTT双谱,并发现强宇称奇双谱的银河系尘埃特别是在BTT,BTE和BEE配置。掩蔽明亮的来源后,我们没有发现任何证据的偏振同步双谱和交叉双谱之间的灰尘和同步辐射。这里讨论的强前景双谱需要仔细控制,以避免偏置原始非高斯测量。最后,我们使用这些双谱工具来测试残留前景的组件分离普朗克地图,并没有发现残留前景的证据。这些工具将是有用的表征残留前景的组件分离的地图,特别是对实验频率覆盖范围小于普朗克卫星。

英文摘要:

Understanding the properties of the galactic emission at millimetre wavelengths is important for studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In this work we explore the bispectrum, the harmonic equivalent of the three point function, from galactic dust and synchrotron emission. We investigate these effects across a broad range of frequencies using the synchrotron dominated S-band Polarization All Sky Survey (SPASS) maps at 2.3 GHz, the Planck satellite maps (30-857 GHz) and dust dominated Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) maps at 3 THz. We measure bispectra of total intensity fields, T, as well as the gradient, E, and curl modes, B, of the polarization field. We find that the synchrotron and galactic dust have strong temperature bispectra with significant contributions in the squeezed limit, which probes the correlations between two small scale modes with a large scale mode. Additionally, we find that the dust also has strong polarised bispectra that also peak in the squeezed configuration. We explore parity odd bispectra, such as BTT bispectra, and find strong parity odd bispectra for the galactic dust notably in BTT, BTE and BEE configurations. After masking bright sources, we find no evidence for polarised synchrotron bispectra and no evidence for cross bispectra between the dust and synchrotron emission. The strong foreground bispectra discussed here need to be carefully controlled to avoid biasing measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity. Finally we use these bispectra tools to test for residual foregrounds in the component separated Planck maps and find no evidence of residual foregrounds. These tools will be useful for characterizing residual foregrounds in component separated maps, particularly for experiments with less frequency coverage than the Planck satellite.
