河外点源在CMB极化的E-和B-模图上的特征

Characterization of Extragalactic Point-Sources on E- and B-mode Maps of the CMB Polarization

P. Diego-Palazuelos, P. Vielva, D. Herranz

摘要:

虽然河外源本身很有趣,但从宇宙微波背景实验的角度来看,河外源在微波范围内发射(主要是射电大声的活动星系核和尘埃星系)也被认为是一种污染物。由于CMB实验的分辨率有限,这些源在CMB测量中表现为未分辨的点状物体。在其他问题中,已知点状源阻碍透镜势的重建,并且对于低的$r$值,可以阻碍原始引力波背景的检测。因此,河外点源探测和扣除是实现为下一代CMB实验设定的一些科学目标所必需的成分分离过程的一个基本部分。作为前一步,他们的删除,在这项工作中,我们提出了一个新的过滤器的基础上可操纵的小波,允许这些河外源的排放特性。代替通常的方法的工作在偏振图的斯托克斯的$Q$和$U$参数,所提出的过滤器上操作的E和B模式偏振图。通过这种方式,它受益于较低的强度,CMB和银河前景发射,在B模式中存在,以提高其性能。为了证明其潜力,我们已经应用过滤器模拟未来的PICO卫星,我们预测,在30 GHz和155 GHz频段的PICO的微弱银河系前景发射的区域,我们的过滤器将能够表征源的最小偏振强度,分别为125 pK和14 pK。采用$Π=0.02$偏振度,这些值对应于169 mJy和288 mJy强度。

英文摘要:

Although interesting in themselves, extragalactic sources emitting in the microwave range (mainly radio-loud active galactic nuclei and dusty galaxies) are also considered a contaminant from the point of view of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments. These sources appear as unresolved point-like objects in CMB measurements because of the limited resolution of CMB experiments. Amongst other issues, point-like sources are known to obstruct the reconstruction of the lensing potential, and can hinder the detection of the Primordial Gravitational Wave Background for low values of $r$. Therefore, extragalactic point-source detection and subtraction is a fundamental part of the component separation process necessary to achieve some of the science goals set for the next generation of CMB experiments. As a previous step to their removal, in this work we present a new filter based on steerable wavelets that allows the characterization of the emission of these extragalactic sources. Instead of the usual approach of working in polarization maps of the Stokes' $Q$ and $U$ parameters, the proposed filter operates on E- and B-mode polarization maps. In this way, it benefits from the lower intensity that, both, the CMB, and the galactic foreground emission, present in B-modes to improve its performance. To demonstrate its potential, we have applied the filter to simulations of the future PICO satellite, and we predict that, for the regions of fainter galactic foreground emission in the 30 GHz and 155 GHz bands of PICO, our filter will be able to characterize sources down to a minimum polarization intensity of, respectively, 125 pK and 14 pK. Adopting a $Π=0.02$ polarization degree, these values correspond to 169 mJy and 288 mJy intensities.
