The effects of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature uncertainties on cosmological parameter estimation

Journal Article Hamann, Jan ; Wong, Yvonne Y Y, E-mail: jan.hamann@ph.tum.de, E-mail: ywong@mppmu.mpg.de - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We estimate the effect of the experimental uncertainty in the measurement of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on the extraction of cosmological parameters from future CMB surveys. We find that even for an ideal experiment limited only by cosmic variance up to l=2500 for both the temperature and polarization measurements, the projected cosmological parameter errors are remarkably robust against the uncertainty of 1 mK in the firas CMB temperature monopole measurement. The maximum degradation in sensitivity is 20%, for the baryon density estimate, relative to the case in which the monopole is known infinitely well. While thismore »« less

Effect of the early reionization on the cosmic microwave background and cosmological parameter estimates

Journal Article Huang, Qing-Guo ; Wang, Ke - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The early reionization (ERE) is supposed to be a physical process which happens after recombination, but before the instantaneous reionization caused by the first generation of stars. We investigate the effect of the ERE on the temperature and polarization power spectra of cosmic microwave background (CMB), and adopt principal components analysis (PCA) to model-independently reconstruct the ionization history during the ERE. In addition, we also discuss how the ERE affects the cosmological parameter estimates, and find that the ERE does not impose any significant influences on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r and the neutrino mass at the sensitivities of current experiments.more »« less

MODELING EXTRAGALACTIC FOREGROUNDS AND SECONDARIES FOR UNBIASED ESTIMATION OF COSMOLOGICAL PARAMETERS FROM PRIMARY COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND ANISOTROPY

Journal Article Millea, M ; Knox, L ; Dore, O ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

Using the latest physical modeling and constrained by the most recent data, we develop a phenomenological parameterized model of the contributions to intensity and polarization maps at millimeter wavelengths from external galaxies and Sunyaev-Zeldovich effects. We find such modeling to be necessary for estimation of cosmological parameters from Planck data. For example, ignoring the clustering of the infrared background would result in a bias in n{sub s} of 7{sigma} in the context of an eight-parameter cosmological model. We show that the simultaneous marginalization over a full foreground model can eliminate such biases, while increasing the statistical uncertainty in cosmological parametersmore »« less

Using big bang nucleosynthesis in cosmological parameter extraction from the cosmic microwave background: a forecast for PLANCK

Journal Article Hamann, Jan ; Lesgourgues, Julien ; Mangano, Gianpiero - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Data from future high precision cosmic microwave background measurements will be sensitive to the primordial helium abundance Y{sub p}. At the same time, this parameter can be predicted from big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) as a function of the baryon and radiation densities, as well as a neutrino chemical potential. We suggest using this information to impose a self-consistent BBN prior on Y{sub p} and determining its impact on parameter inference from simulated planck data. We find that this approach can significantly improve bounds on cosmological parameters compared to an analysis which treats Y{sub p} as a free parameter, if themore »« less

Frequentist estimation of cosmological parameters from theMAXIMA-1 cosmic microwave background anisotropy data

Journal Article Abroe, M E ; Balbi, A ; Borrill, J ; ... - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

We use a frequentist statistical approach to set confidence intervals on the values of cosmological parameters using the MAXIMA-1 and COBE measurements of the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background. We define a Deltachi (2) statistic, simulate the measurements of MAXIMA-1 and COBE, determine the probability distribution of the statistic, and use it and the data to set confidence intervals on several cosmological parameters. We compare the frequentist confidence intervals with Bayesian credible regions. The frequentist and Bayesian approaches give best estimates for the parameters that agree within 15 per cent, and confidence interval widths that agree tomore »« less
