A possible contribution to CMB anisotropies at high l from primordial voids
arXiv:astro-ph/0204100 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06211.x
Abstract
We present preliminary results of an analysis into the effects of primordial voids on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We show that an inflationary bubble model of void formation predicts excess power in the CMB angular power spectrum that peaks between 2000 < l < 3000. Therefore, voids that exist on or close to the last scattering surface at the epoch of decoupling can contribute significantly to the apparent rise in power on these scales recently detected by the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI).
