Bayesian analysis of anisotropic cosmologies: Bianchi VIIh and WMAP
Bayesian analysis of anisotropic cosmologies: Bianchi VIIh and WMAP
We perform a definitive analysis of Bianchi VII_h cosmologies with WMAP observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies. Bayesian analysis techniques are developed to study anisotropic cosmologies using full-sky and partial-sky, masked CMB temperature data. We apply these techniques to analyse the full-sky internal linear combination (ILC) map …
