Non Gaussian extrema counts for CMB maps | | Dmitri Pogosyan

10 Jul 2011 | | Abstract: | In the context of the geometrical analysis of weakly non Gaussian CMB maps,
the 2D differential extrema counts as functions of the excursion set threshold
is derived from the full moments expansion of the joint probability
distribution of an isotropic random field, its gradient and invariants of the
Hessian. Analytic expressions for these counts are given to second order in the
non Gaussian correction, while a Monte Carlo method to compute them to
arbitrary order is presented. Matching count statistics to these estimators is
illustrated on fiducial non-Gaussian "Planck" data. | | Source: | arXiv, 1107.1863 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
