Accurate Reconstruction

Abstract Recently, the internal-linear-combination (ILC) method was investigated extensively in the context of reconstruction of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropy signal using observations obtained by WMAP and Planck satellite missions. In this article, we, for the first time, apply the ILC method to reconstruct the large scale CMB E mode polarization signal, which could probe the ionization history, using simulated observations of 15 frequency CMB polarization maps of future generation Cosmic Origin Explorer (COrE) satellite mission. We find that the clean power spectra, from the usual ILC, are strongly biased due to non zero CMB-foregrounds chance correlations. In order to address the issues of bias and errors we extend and improve the usual ILC method for CMB E mode reconstruction by incorporating prior information of theoretical E mode angular power spectrum while estimating the weights for linear combination of input maps (Sudevan & Saha 2018b). Using the E mode covariance matrix effectively suppresses the CMB-foreground chance correlation power leading to an accurate reconstruction of cleaned CMB E mode map and its angular power spectrum. We compare the performance of the usual ILC and the new method over large angular scales and show that the later produces significantly statistically improved results than the former. The new E mode CMB angular power spectrum contains neither any significant negative bias at the low multipoles nor any positive foreground bias at relatively higher mutlipoles. The error estimates of the cleaned spectrum agree very well with the cosmic variance induced error.

Intracluster Gas

X-ray emissions from clusters are most likely originated from a thin hot plasma in a collisional ionization equilibrium. The optical depth of continuum component is order of 10–3, whereas that of emission lines is around unity. Present emission models used for spectral fitting can not estimate this effect, so that the determination of elemental abundances seems to include large uncertainty. The high resolution spectroscopy with ASCA gives a clue to investigate the physical state of hot intracluster gas and a impact to reconsider the basic atomic processes. This is important issue to deeply understand the structure, formation and evolution of clusters, and the origin of intracluster gas.
