Degree-scale anomalies in the CMB: Localizing the first peak dip to a small patch of the north ecliptic sky

Journal Article Yoho, Amanda ; Ferrer, Francesc ; Starkman, Glenn D - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Noticeable deviations from the prediction of the fiducial lambda cold dark matter cosmology are found in the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background. Besides large-angle anomalies, the WMAP first year data revealed a dip in the power spectrum at l{approx}200, which seemed to disappear in the third year and subsequent angular power spectra. Using the WMAP single first, third, and fifth year data as well as the total 5 yr coadded data, we study the intensity and spatial distribution of this feature in order to unveil its origin and its implications for the cosmological parameters. We show thatmore »« less

BRIGHTNESS AND FLUCTUATION OF THE MID-INFRARED SKY FROM AKARI OBSERVATIONS TOWARD THE NORTH ECLIPTIC POLE

Journal Article Pyo, Jeonghyun ; Jeong, Woong-Seob ; Matsumoto, Toshio ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We present the smoothness of the mid-infrared sky from observations by the Japanese infrared astronomical satellite AKARI. AKARI monitored the north ecliptic pole (NEP) during its cold phase with nine wave bands covering from 2.4 to 24 {mu}m, out of which six mid-infrared bands were used in this study. We applied power-spectrum analysis to the images in order to search for the fluctuation of the sky brightness. Observed fluctuation is explained by fluctuation of photon noise, shot noise of faint sources, and Galactic cirrus. The fluctuations at a few arcminutes scales at short mid-infrared wavelengths (7, 9, and 11 {mu}m)more »« less

SNAP sky background at the north ecliptic pole

Technical Report Aldering, Greg

I summarize the extant direct and indirect data on the sky background SNAP will see at the North Ecliptic Pole over the wavelength range 0.4 < {lambda} < 1.7 {micro}m. At the spatial resolution of SNAP the sky background due to stars and galaxies is resolved, so the only source considered is zodiacal light. Several models are explored to provide interpolation in wavelength between the broadband data from HST and COBE observations. I believe the input data are now established well enough that the accuracy of the sky background presented here is sufficient for SNAP simulations, and that it willmore » stand up to scrutiny by reviewers.« less

Local properties of the large-scale peaks of the CMB temperature

Journal Article Marcos-Caballero, A. ; Martínez-González, E. ; Vielva, P., E-mail: marcos@ifca.unican.es, E-mail: martinez@ifca.unican.es, E-mail: vielva@ifca.unican.es - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

In the present work, we study the largest structures of the CMB temperature measured by Planck in terms of the most prominent peaks on the sky, which, in particular, are located in the southern galactic hemisphere. Besides these large-scale features, the well-known Cold Spot anomaly is included in the analysis. All these peaks would contribute significantly to some of the CMB large-scale anomalies, as the parity and hemispherical asymmetries, the dipole modulation, the alignment between the quadrupole and the octopole, or in the case of the Cold Spot, to the non-Gaussianity of the field. The analysis of the peaks ismore »« less

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: a CMB lensing mass map over 2100 square degrees of sky and its cross-correlation with BOSS-CMASS galaxies

Journal Article Darwish, Omar ; Madhavacheril, Mathew S. ; Sherwin, Blake D. ; ... - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

In this work, we construct cosmic microwave background lensing mass maps using data from the 2014 and 2015 seasons of observations with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). These maps cover 2100 square degrees of sky and overlap with a wide variety of optical surveys. The maps are signal dominated on large scales and have fidelity such that their correlation with the cosmic infrared background is clearly visible by eye. We also create lensing maps with thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich contamination removed using a novel cleaning procedure that only slightly degrades the lensing signal-to-noise ratio. The cross-spectrum between the cleaned lensing map andmore »« less
