ABSTRACT

We present constraints on cosmological parameters using maps from the last Planck data release (PR4). In particular, we detail an upgraded version of the cosmic microwave background likelihood, HiLLiPoP, based on angular power spectra and relying on a physical modelling of the foreground residuals in the spectral domain. This new version of the likelihood retains a larger sky fraction (up to 75%) and uses an extended multipole range. Using this likelihood, along with low-l measurements from LoLLiPoP, we derive constraints on $Λ$CDM parameters that are in good agreement with previous Planck 2018 results, but with 10% to 20% smaller uncertainties. We demonstrate that the foregrounds can be accurately described in spectra domain with only negligible impact on $Λ$CDM parameters. We also derive constraints on single-parameter extensions to $Λ$CDM including $A_L$, $Ω_K$, $N_{eff}$, and $\sum m_ν$. Noteworthy results from this updated analysis include a lensing amplitude value of $A_L = 1.039 \pm 0.052$, which aligns more closely with theoretical expectations within the $Λ$CDM framework. Additionally, our curvature measurement, $Ω_K = -0.012 \pm 0.010$, now demonstrates complete consistency with a flat universe, and our measurement of $S_8$ is closer to the measurements derived from large-scale structure surveys (at the 1.6$σ$ level). We also add constraints from PR4 lensing, making the combination the most constraining data set that is currently available from Planck. Additionally we explore adding baryon acoustic oscillation data, which tightens limits on some particular extensions to the standard cosmology.

研究动机与目标

• 使用最终的 Planck PR4 数据集（NPIPE）来细化对 ΛCDM 参数的约束。
• 在谱域建模并边际化前景剩余项，以避免对宇宙学参数的偏差。
• 评估对 ΛCDM 的单参数扩展（A_L、Ω_K、N_eff、Σmν）的约束及其含义。
• 结合 PR4 透镜观测并考虑 BAO 数据，以收紧对标准宇宙学扩展的界限。

提出的方法

• 将 Planck CMB 似然升级为 HiLLiPoP V4.2，利用 100、143、217 GHz 的互相谱，覆盖 TT、TE、EE 的 75% 天空。
• 在谱域对前景进行详细建模，改进对尘埃和点源的处理。
• 用于大角度极化的低ℓ 似然 LoLLiPoP（以及 Commander），减少前景偏差。
• 与解析半经验协方差（通过 Xpol）进行交叉谱分析，覆盖 75% 天空且多极数 up to ℓ≈2500（TT）/ 2000（EE, TE）。
• 引入 detset 拆分以避免交叉谱中的噪声偏差，并对 LoLLiPoP 的 Cℓ 似然进行高斯化处理。
