中文摘要 | The spectral variation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as observed by WMAP was tested using foreground reduced WMAP5 data, by producing subtraction maps at the 1 degrees angular resolution between the two cosmological bands of V and W, for masked sky areas that avoid the Galactic disk. The resulting V-W map revealed a non-acoustic signal over and above the WMAP5 pixel noise, with two main properties. First, it possesses quadrupole power at the approximate to 1 mu K level which may be attributed to foreground residuals. Second, it fluctuates also at all values of l > 2, especially on the 1 degrees scale (200 less than or similar to l less than or similar to 300). The behavior is random and symmetrical about zero temperature with an rms approximate to 7 mu K, or 10% of the maximum CMB anisotropy, which would require a "cosmic conspiracy" among the foreground components if it is a consequence of their existence. Both anomalies must be properly diagnosed and corrected if "precision" cosmology is the claim. The second anomaly is, however, more interesting because it opens the question on whether the CMB anisotropy genuinely represents primordial density seeds. |
