First‐Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe(WMAP) Observations: Interpretation of the TT and TE Angular Power Spectrum Peaks
Open accessAbstract
The CMB has distinct peaks in both its temperature angular power spectrum (TT) and temperature-polarization cross-power spectrum (TE). From the WMAP data we find the first peak in the temperature spectrum at l = 220.1 +- 0.8 with an amplitude of 74.7 +- 0.5 microK; the first trough at l = 411.7 +- 3.5 with an amplitude of 41.0 +- 0.5 microK; and the second peak at l = 546 +- 10 with an amplitude of 48.8 +- 0.9 microK. The TE spectrum has an antipeak at l = 137 +- 9 with a cross-power of -35 +- 9 microK^2, and a peak at l = 329 +- 19 with cross-power 105 +- 18 microK^2. All uncertainties are 1 sigma and include calibration and beam errors. An intuition for how the data determine the cosmological parameters may be gained by limiting one's attention to a subset of parameters and their effects on the peak characteristics. We interpret the peaks in the context of a flat adiabatic LambdaCDM model with the goal of showing how the cosmic baryon density, Omega_b h^2, matter density, Omega_m h^2, scalar index, n_s, and age of the universe are encoded in their positions and amplitudes. To this end, we introduce a new scaling relation for the TE antipeak-to-peak amplitude ratio and recompute known related scaling relations for the TT spectrum in light of the WMAP data. From the scaling relations, we show that WMAP's tight bound on Omega_b h^2 is intimately linked to its robust detection of the first and second peaks of the TT spectrum.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
