Linearly Polarized

It is known that the dominated contribution of primordial anisotropies of cosmic microwave background (CMB) are linearly polarized via Compton scattering. However, circular polarization of this anisotropy has not been observed up to now, but it has not been excluded in observational evidences. Here we show that the Euler–Heisenberg effective Lagrangian can generate circular polarization in CMB. This generation is calculated by using the quantum Boltzman equation for time evolution of the Stokes parameter. Also we estimate Faraday conversion phase on the order of 10−13 due to this Lagrangian, which gives a lower bound on circular polarization of CMB.

AbstractBlackbody radiation inversion is a mathematical process for the determination of probability distribution of temperature from measured radiated power spectrum. In this paper a simple and stable blackbody radiation inversion is achieved by using an analytical function with three determinable parameters for temperature distribution. This inversion technique is used to invert the blackbody radiation field of the cosmic microwave background, the remnant radiation of the hot big bang, to infer the temperature distribution of the generating medium. The salient features of this distribution are investigated and analysis of this distribution predicts the presence of distortion in the cosmic microwave background spectrum.
