Scaling properties of the cosmic background plasma and radiation
Abstract
Scaling properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation are studied using satellite (COBE-DMR maps), balloon-borne and ground-based (combined QMASK map) data. Quantitative consistency is found between the multiscaling properties of the COBE-DMR and QMASK CMB maps. Surprisingly, it is found that the observed CMB temperature multiscaling resembles quantitatively the multiscaling properties of fluid turbulence, that indicates primordial plasma turbulence as an origin of the CMB temperature space anisotropy.
