Textures and Cosmic Microwave Background non-Gaussian Signatures

Original · EN

We report briefly on a recent analysis of the texture-induced CMB radiation three-point correlation function of temperature anisotropies as predicted by an analytical model. We specialize our analysis to both large-scales (e.g., for COBE-DMR, where we compare our prediction with the actual four-year data) and intermediate-scales. We show how the latter case puts strong constraints on the model parameters.
