The effect of reionization on the cosmic microwave background–density correlation     

Tommaso Giannantonio  Robert Crittenden 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2007,381(2):819-826

In this paper, we show how the rescattering of cosmic microwave background photons after cosmic reionization can give a significant linear contribution to the temperature–matter cross-correlation measurements. These anisotropies, which arise via a late-time Doppler effect, are on scales much larger than the typical scale of non-linear effects at reionization; they can contribute to degree scale cross-correlations and could affect the interpretation of similar correlations resulting from the integrated Sachs–Wolfe effect. While expected to be small at low redshifts, these correlations can be large given a probe of the density at high redshift, and so could be a useful probe of the cosmic reionization history.  相似文献   

Constraining the nature of dark energy using the Square Kilometer Array Telescope     

A. Torres-Rodríguez  C. M. Cress 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2007,376(4):1831-1837

We investigate the potential of the Square Kilometer Array Telescope (SKA) to constrain the sound speed of dark energy. The Integrated Sachs Wolfe (ISW) effect results in a significant power spectrum signal when Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies are cross-correlated with galaxies detectable with the SKA in H  i . We consider using this measurement, the autocorrelation of H  i galaxies and the CMB temperature power spectrum to derive constraints on the sound speed. We study the contributions to the cross-correlation signal made by galaxies at different redshifts and use redshift tomography to improve the signal-to-noise. We use a  χ²  analysis to estimate the significance of detecting a sound speed different from that expected in quintessence models, finding that there is potential to distinguish very low sound speeds from the quintessence value.  相似文献

Assessing the Measurement Consistency Between the Jason-2/AMR and SARAL/AltiKa/DFMR Microwave Radiometers Using Simultaneous Nadir Observations     

Bin Zhang  Changyong Cao  John Lillibridge  Laury Miller 《Marine Geodesy》2015,38(3):143-155

SARAL/AltiKa has a Dual Frequency Microwave Radiometer (DFMR), and Jason-2 has an Advanced Microwave Radiometer (AMR). Both microwave radiometer sensors include a 23.8 GHz primary water sensing channel. The measurement consistencies between DFMR and AMR are important for establishing a consistent altimetry data set between SARAL/AltiKa and Jason-2 in order to accurately assess sea level rise in a long-term time series. This study investigates the measurement consistency in the 23.8 GHz channel between DFMR and AMR at the Simultaneous Nadir Overpasses (SNO's) between the two satellites and also at coldest ocean brightness temperature locations. Preliminary results show that while both instruments show no significant trends over the one year since the launch of SARAL, a consistent relative bias of 2.88 K (DFMR higher than AMR) with a standard deviation of 0.98 K is observed. The relative bias at the lowest brightness temperature from the SNO method (-3.82 K) is consistent with that calculated from coldest ocean method (-3.74 K). The relative bias exhibits strong latitude (and scene temperature) dependency, changing from -3.82 K at high latitudes to -0.92 K near the equator. There also exists an asymmetry between the northern and southern hemisphere. The relative bias increases toward the lower end of brightness temperature.  相似文献

应用微波遥感数据的东北地区地表温度反演     

满浩然  臧淑英  李苗  张鑫 《测绘科学》2021,46(3):124-132

针对无源微波遥感时间分辨率高可以克服云层影响获取地表温度的问题,该文应用AMSR-E微波亮度温度数据,分别选取了基于发射率估计的单通道反演法和多通道线性拟合法反演东北地区地表温度。在原有方法的基础上提出算法改进:对单通道反演法按照植被生长周期在生长季与非生长季分别建立发射率估计方程,探究各微波通道在每种地表覆被类型的反演能力并组合反演精度最高的通道,将微波极化差异指数作为表征发射率参数加入多通道拟合方程。结果显示,获取的地表温度剔除水体和冰雪无效像元后可用性达到100%,改进后的单通道反演法均方根误差由3.58~4.6降低至2.0~3.1,在75%的区域的误差小于2 K;多通道拟合法的最终均方根误差为2.6~3.5,同样有较高精度且只使用微波亮温数据就能获取地表温度。  相似文献   

Optimisation of the Population Monte Carlo algorithm: Application to constraining isocurvature models with cosmic microwave background data     

D. Moodley  K. Moodley 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2016,337(6):672-682

We optimise the parameters of the Population Monte Carlo algorithm using numerical simulations. The optimisation is based on an efficiency statistic related to the number of samples evaluated prior to convergence, and is applied to a D ‐dimensional Gaussian distribution to derive optimal scaling laws for the algorithm parameters. More complex distributions such as the banana and bimodal distributions are also studied. We apply these results to a cosmological parameter estimation problem that uses CMB anisotropy data from the WMAP nine‐year release to constrain a six parameter adiabatic model and a fifteen parameter admixture model, consisting of correlated adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations. In the case of the adiabatic model and the admixture model we find that the number of sample points increase by factors of 3 and 20, respectively, relative to the optimal Gaussian case. This is due to degeneracies in the underlying parameter space. The WMAP nine‐year data constrain the admixture model to have an isocurvature fraction of 36.3 ± 2.8 %.
