Probing the Universe on gigaparsec scales with remote cosmic microwave background quadrupole measurements

Probing the Universe on gigaparsec scales with remote cosmic microwave background quadrupole measurements

Scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation in galaxy clusters induces a polarization signal proportional to the CMB quadrupole anisotropy at the cluster's location and look-back time. A survey of such remote quadrupole measurements provides information about large-scale cosmological perturbations. This paper presents a formalism for calculating the correlation function …
