Testing Cosmic Microwave Background Anomalies in E-mode Polarization with Current and Future Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this paper, we explore the power of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization ( E -mode) data to corroborate four potential anomalies in CMB temperature data: the lack of large angular-scale correlations, the alignment of the quadrupole and ...

THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND RADIATION* [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1981
Because angular anisotropies and spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background radiation are judged to be inevitable at some level, in a realistic cosmological model, the evidence for spectral distortions and its theoretical implications are described.

Long-range correlation in cosmic microwave background radiation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2011
We investigate the statistical anisotropy and Gaussianity of temperature fluctuations of Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) data from {\it Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe} survey, using the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis, rescaled range and scaled windowed variance methods.

Capturing Statistical Isotropy Violation with Generalized Isotropic Angular Correlation Functions of Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The exquisitely measured maps of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) present the possibility of systematically testing the principle of statistical isotropy of the Universe. A systematic approach based on strong mathematical formulation

Mitigating Cosmic Microwave Background Shadow Degradation of Tensor-to-scalar Ratio Measurements through Map-based Studies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
It has been pointed out that the spurious cosmic microwave background (CMB) B -mode polarization signals caused by the absorption of the CMB monopole component due to the Galactic interstellar matter, called the CMB shadow, degrade the accuracy of ...

Neutrinos and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2012
According to the standard models of particle physics and cosmology, there should be a background of cosmic neutrinos in the present Universe, similar to the cosmic microwave photon background.

Estimation of the Full-sky Power Spectrum between Intermediate and Large Angular Scales from Partial-sky CMB Anisotropies Using an Artificial Neural Network

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Reliable extraction of cosmological information from observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps may require removal of strongly foreground-contaminated regions from the analysis. In this paper, we employ an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict

Lensing Reconstruction from the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization with Machine Learning

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The lensing effect of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a powerful tool for our study of the distribution of matter in the universe. The quadratic estimator (QE) method, which is widely used to reconstruct lensing potential, has been known to be ...

On the (Higher Multipoles) Variance Asymmetry in the Cosmic Microwave Background

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have studied the cosmic microwave background (CMB) map looking for features beyond cosmological isotropy. We began by tiling the CMB variance maps (which are produced by different smoothing scales) with stripes of different sizes along the most ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Systematic Transient Search of 3 Day Maps

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We conduct a systematic search for transients in 3 yr of data (2017–2019) from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). ACT covers 40% of the sky at three bands spanning from 77–277 GHz. Analysis of 3 day mean-subtracted sky maps, which were match filtered
