Correlation properties of the maps of the NVSS survey and WMAP ILC
arXiv:0902.0281 · doi:10.1134/S1990341308040056
Abstract
In this paper we study one-dimensional sections of the maps of WMAP ILC and of the NVSS survey on scale lengths of 0.75, 3, 4.5, and 6.75 degrees and analyze the correlation properties of the sections. On these maps we identify the domains where the absolute value of the correlation coefficient exceeds 0.5. The catalog of such domains is presented. It is shown that the number of the domains agrees with the number of such domains on simulated maps and this fact may be indicative of just statistical agreement of the arrangement of the domains considered.
