Gravitational lensing effect on cosmic microwave background polarization

Open access
Zaldarriaga, Matias, Seljak, Uroš·1998·Physical Review D

Abstract

We investigate the effect of gravitational lensing by matter distribution in the universe on the cosmic microwave background polarization power spectra and temperature-polarization cross-correlation spectrum. As in the case of the temperature spectrum, gravitational lensing leads to a smoothing of narrow features and the enhancement of power on the damping tail of the power spectrum. Because the acoustic peaks in polarization spectra are narrower than in the temperature spectrum the smoothing effect is significantly larger and can reach up to 10% for $l<1000$ and even more above that. A qualitatively new feature is the generation of $B$ type polarization even when only $E$ is intrinsically present, such as in the case of pure scalar perturbations. This may be directly observed with Planck and other future small scale polarization experiments. The gravitational lensing effect is incorporated in the new version (2.4) of the CMBFAST code.

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.
