HEALPix -- a Framework for High Resolution Discretization, and Fast Analysis of Data Distributed on the Sphere
K. M. Gorski, E. Hivon, A. J. Banday +4
HEALPix -- the Hierarchical Equal Area iso-Latitude Pixelization -- is a versatile data structure with an associated library of computational algorithms and visualization software…
Testing the isotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Backround
F. K. Hansen
There have recently been several claims of an asymmetric distribution of large scale fluctuations in the WMAP data. I review some recent results from a test of isotropy of the powe…
Cosmological parameters and the WMAP data revisited
F. K. Hansen, A. Balbi, A. J. Banday +1
Several recent papers have made claims about the detection of an asymmetric distribution of large scale power in the cosmic microwave background anisotropy as measured by the WMAP…
Primordial non-Gaussianity: local curvature method and statistical significance of constraints on f_NL from WMAP data
P. Cabella, M. Liguori, F. K. Hansen +4
We test the consistency of estimates of the non-linear coupling constant f_{NL} using non-Gaussian CMB maps generated by the method described in (Liguori, Matarrese and Moscardini…
Testing the cosmological principle of isotropy: local power spectrum estimates of the WMAP data
F. K. Hansen, A. J. Banday, K. M. Gorski
We apply the Gabor transform methodology proposed in (Hansen et al. 2002, 2003) to the WMAP data in order to test the statistical properties of the CMB fluctuation field and specif…
Imaging the first light: experimental challenges and future perspectives in the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy
A. Mennella, C. Baccigalupi, A. Balbi +17
Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) allow high precision observation of the Last Scattering Surface at redshift 1100. After the success of the NASA satelli…
