Missing completely of the CMB quadrupole in WMAP data

Abstract: In cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, foreground-cleaned temperature maps are still contaminated by the residual dipole due to uncertainties of the Doppler dipole direction and microwave radiometer sidelobe. To obtain reliable CMB maps, such contamination has to be carefully removed from observed data. We have previously built a software package for map-making, residual dipole-contamination removal, and power spectrum estimation from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) raw data. This so… Show more

“…for the discrepancy [276,279], which points towards a violation of statistical isotropy [280]. The lack of quadrupole CMB signal is, according to some authors [281,278], a serious challenge to the standard model. There is abnormally high (low) powers in the = 6, 12-17 modes [277]; the probabilities for having the anomalous amplitudes of the = 5, 6, 17 modes are about 0.1%, 1% and 1% respectively according to the Gaussian conjecture.…”

“…Therefore, our universe could be created from a limited region of R s ≤ 10 −40 R 0 with an initial energy density ρ s at z s ≤ 10 40 by a phase transition, taking place in a static primordial vacuum consisting of two balanced scalar fields [37] . Such a scenario for the primordial universe may also explain the observed lack of CMB power on the largest scales [38,39] . In ΛCDM, the universe was created from a primordial singular point by a Big Bang.…”
