Citación: | Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 435(4): 3096-3102 (2013) | Resumen: | Recent results of the ESA Planck satellite have confirmed the existence of some anomalies in the statistical distribution of the cosmic microwavebackground (CMB) anisotropies. One of the most intriguing anomalies is the cold spot, first detected in the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data by Vielva et al. In a later paper, Vielva et al. (2011) developed a method to probe the anomalous nature of the cold spot by using the cross-correlation of temperature and polarization of the CMB fluctuations. Whereas this work was built under the assumption of analysing full-sky data, in this paper we extend such approach to deal with realistic data sets with a partial-sky coverage. In particular, we exploit the radial and tangential polarization patterns around temperature spots. We explore the capacity of the method to distinguish between a standard Gaussian CMB scenario and an alternative one, in which the cold spot arises from a physical process that doesnot present correlated polarization features (e.g. topological defects), asa function of the instrumental-noise level. Moreover, we consider more in detail the case of an ideal noise-free experiment and the ones with the expected instrumental-noise levels in QUIJOTE and Planck experiments. We also present an application to the 9-year WMAP data, without being able to obtainfirm conclusions, with a significance level of 32 per cent. In the ideal case, the alternative scenario could be rejected at a significance level of around 1 per cent, whereas for expected noise levels of QUIJOTE and Planck experiments the corresponding significance levels are 1.5 and 7.4 per cent, respectively. © 2013 The Authors, Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt1505 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/109172 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/stt1505 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1093/mnras/stt1505 issn: 0035-8711 e-issn: 1365-2966 |
