We propose to study the imprint of features in the primordial power spectrum with the primary CMB after the subtraction of the reconstructed ISW signal from the observed CMB temperature angular power spectrum. We consider the application to features models able to fit two of the large scales anomalies observed in the CMB temperature angular power spectrum: the deficit of power at ℓ∼2 and at ℓ∼22. We show that if the features comes from the primordial power spectrum we should be find consistent constraints of these features model from the CMB temperature angular power spectrum removing or not the late ISW signal. Moreover, this method shows also some improvement on the constraints on the features parameters up to 16% for models predicting a suppression of power of the quadrupole and up to 27% for models with features at ℓ∼22, assuming instrumental sensitivity similar to the Planck satellite (depending on the goodness of the ISW reconstruction). Furthermore, it gives the opportunity to understand if these anomalies are attributed to early- or late-time physics.

Abstract

We propose to study the imprint of features in the primordial power spectrum with the primary CMB after the subtraction of the reconstructed ISW signal from the observed CMB temperature angular power spectrum. We consider the application to features models able to fit two of the large scales anomalies observed in the CMB temperature angular power spectrum: the deficit of power at ℓ∼2 and at ℓ∼22. We show that if the features comes from the primordial power spectrum we should be find consistent constraints of these features model from the CMB temperature angular power spectrum removing or not the late ISW signal. Moreover, this method shows also some improvement on the constraints on the features parameters up to 16% for models predicting a suppression of power of the quadrupole and up to 27% for models with features at ℓ∼22, assuming instrumental sensitivity similar to the Planck satellite (depending on the goodness of the ISW reconstruction). Furthermore, it gives the opportunity to understand if these anomalies are attributed to early- or late-time physics.
