Measuring our Peculiar Velocity by "Pre-deboosting" the CMB - 1 views

Kaiki Inoue on 08 Dec 11Our peculiar velocity with respect to the CMB rest frame can be measured through off-diagonal correlations in harmonic expansion coefficients due to aberration. The author shows that a new technique called "pre-deboosting" will work for detecting such correlations up to l~10000. If the measured residual peculiar velocity is different from the expected value, it would be a hint of some anomalies on superhorizon scales.
