Testing Global Isotropy of Three-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Data: Temperature Analysis
Amir Hajian, Tarun Souradeep
Abstract
We examine statistical isotropy of large scale anisotropies of the Internal Linear Combination (ILC) map, based on three year WMAP data. Our study reveals no significant deviation from statistical isotropy on large angular scales of 3-year ILC map. Comparing statistical isotropy of 3-year ILC map and 1-year ILC map, we find a significant improvement in 3-year ILC map which can be due to the gain model, improved ILC map processing and foreground minimization.
