摘要:

近年来,利用WMAP和Planck卫星观测数据重建宇宙微波背景(CMB)温度各向异性信号的内部线性组合(ILC)方法得到了广泛的研究。本文首次采用ILC方法,利用新一代COrE卫星15频CMB偏振图的模拟观测数据,重建了作为宇宙电离历史唯一探针的大尺度CMB E模偏振信号。我们发现,通常的ILC清洁E模式的地图是非常错误的,由于存在的机会相关CMB和天体物理的前景成分之间的经验协方差矩阵,这是用来估计的权重因子。由于这些机会相关因子,E模式的清洁角功率谱是强烈偏差和错误的。为了解决偏差和误差的问题,我们扩展和改进了通常的ILC方法的CMB E模式重建的理论E模式的角功率谱的先验信息,同时估计输入映射的线性组合的权重。使用E模式协方差矩阵有效地抑制了CMB-前景机会相关功率,从而精确地重建清洁的CMB E模式图及其角功率谱。我们提供了一个比较研究的性能通常的ILC和新的方法在大角度尺度的天空,并表明,后者产生显着的统计改善的结果比前者。新的E模CMB角功率谱在低多极子处既不包含任何显著的负偏置,在相对较高的多极子处也不包含任何正的前景偏置。清洗谱的误差估计与宇宙方差引起的误差非常一致。

英文摘要:

In the recent years, the internal-linear-combination (ILC) method was investigated extensively in the context of reconstruction of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropy signal using observations obtained by WMAP and Planck satellite missions. In this article, we, for the first time, apply the ILC method to reconstruct the large scale CMB E mode polarization signal, which serves as the unique probe of ionization history of the Universe, using simulated observations of 15 frequency CMB polarization maps of future generation COrE satellite mission. We find that usual ILC cleaned E mode map is highly erroneous due to presence of a chance-correlation between CMB and astrophysical foreground components in the empirical covariance matrix which is used to estimate the weight factors. The cleaned angular power spectrum for E mode is strongly biased and erroneous due to these chance correlation factors. In order to address the issues of bias and errors we extend and improve the usual ILC method for CMB E mode reconstruction by incorporating prior information of theoretical E mode angular power spectrum while estimating the weights for linear combination of input maps. Using the E mode covariance matrix effectively suppresses the CMB-foreground chance correlation power leading to an accurate reconstruction of cleaned CMB E mode map and its angular power spectrum. We provide a comparative study of the performance of the usual ILC and the new method over large angular scales of the sky and show that the later produces significantly statistically improved results than the former. The new E mode CMB angular power spectrum contains neither any significant negative bias at the low multipoles nor any positive foreground bias at relatively higher mutlipoles. The error estimates of the cleaned spectrum agree very well with the cosmic variance induced error.
