Cosmology with Planck T-E correlation coefficient

Abstract

Tensions in cosmological parameters measurement motivate a revisit of the effects of instrumental systematics. In this article, we focus on the Pearson's correlation coefficient of the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization E modes ${\mathcal{R}}_{\ell }^{\mathrm{TE}}$ which has the property of not being biased by multiplicative instrumental systematics. We build a ${\mathcal{R}}_{\ell }^{\mathrm{TE}}$-based likelihood for the Planck data, and present the first constraints on $\Lambda$CDM parameters from the correlation coefficient. Our results are compatible with parameters derived from a power spectra based likelihood. In particular the value of the Hubble parameter $H_0$ characterizing the expansion of the Universe today, 67.5 $\pm$ 1.3 km/s/Mpc, is consistent with the ones inferred from standard CMB analysis. We also discuss the consistency of the Planck correlation coefficient with the one computed from the most recent ACTPol power spectra.
