Tests for Gaussianity of the MAXIMA-1 cosmic microwave background map

Abstract:

A series of Gaussianity tests were performed on the MAXIMA-1 CMB map. To optimize both the resolution and the signal-to-noise ratio for these tests, a map with 5972 square pixels of 8' each was used. Using these high-quality data, the Gaussianity of CMB anisotropy on subdegree scales was probed for the first time. It was found that the MAXIMA-1 CMB map is consistent with Gaussianity on angular scales between 10 arcmin and 5 deg.

Have Acoustic Oscillations been Detected in the Current Cosmic Microwave Background Data?

ArXiv astro-ph/0111400 (2001)

Authors:

M Douspis, PG Ferreira

Abstract:

The angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background has been measured out to sufficiently small angular scale to encompass a few acoustic oscillations. We use a phenomenological fit to the angular power spectrum to quantify the statistical significance of these oscillations and discuss the cosmological implications of such a finding.
