CMB图的不对称性:局部和全局异常

Asymmetry of the CMB map: local and global anomalies

James Creswell, Pavel Naselsky

摘要:

我们调查的宇称不对称性的来源CMB温度图使用像素域的方法。我们证明,这种异常主要是与两对高不对称区域的存在。第一对峰值与银河系坐标$(l, b) = (212^\circ, -21^\circ)$和$(32^\circ, 21^\circ)$与北银河支和CMB各向异性的功率谱的偶极调制的方向。另一对($(l, b)=(332^\circ, -8^\circ)$和$(152^\circ, 8^\circ)$)位于银河平面内(银河冷斑和它的对跖伙伴)。类似的不对称峰,但幅度较小,属于WMAP/普朗克冷点及其在北银河支的伙伴。这些局部异常增加了奇多极功率的高斯模拟一致的水平。与此相反,赤字的对称峰是伴随着赤字的偶多极功率和源的宇称不对称的CMB温度图在约3西格玛的水平。我们还评估了四极的影响,这是偶多极赤字的另一个来源。如果低四极是理论模型的固有特征,那么它将把宇称不对称的重要性降低到2 σ水平。我们还研究了统计均匀高斯信号的偶极调制模型的框架中的功率谱的不对称性和奇偶不对称性的水平之间的关系。我们表明,这两个异常是天生相互联系的。

英文摘要:

We investigate the sources of parity asymmetry in the CMB temperature maps using a pixel domain approach. We demonstrate that this anomaly is mainly associated with the presence of two pairs of high asymmetry regions. The first pair of peaks with Galactic coordinates $(l, b) = (212^\circ, -21^\circ)$ and $(32^\circ, 21^\circ)$ is associated with the Northern Galactic Spur and the direction of the dipole modulation of the power spectrum of the CMB anisotropy. The other pair ($(l, b)=(332^\circ, -8^\circ)$ and $(152^\circ, 8^\circ)$) is located within the Galactic plane (the Galactic Cold Spot and its antipodal partner). Similar asymmetric peaks, but with smaller amplitudes, belong to the WMAP/Planck Cold Spot and its partner in the Northern Galactic Spur. These local anomalies increase the odd-multipole power to a level consistent with Gaussian simulations. In contrast, the deficit of symmetric peaks is accompanied by a deficit in the even-multipole power and is the source of the parity asymmetry of the CMB temperature maps at the level of about 3 sigma. We also evaluate the influence of the quadrupole, which is another source of the even-multipole deficit. If the low quadrupole is an intrinsic feature of the theoretical model, it will reduce the significance of the parity asymmetry to around the 2 sigma level. We also investigate the relationship between the asymmetry of the power spectrum and the level of the parity asymmetry in the framework of a model with dipole modulation of a statistically uniform Gaussian signal. We show that these two anomalies are innately linked to each other.
