Integrated Sachs-Wolfe map recovery from NVSS and WMAP 7yr data
We present a map of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies
induced by the late Integrated Sachs Wolfe effect. The map is constructed by
combining the information of the WMAP 7-yr CMB data and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey
(NVSS) through a linear filter. This combination improves the quality of the
map that would be obtained using information only from the Large Scale
Structure data. In order to apply the filter, a given cosmological model needs
to be assumed. In particular, we consider the standard LCDM model. As a test of
consistency, we show that the reconstructed map is in agreemet with the assumed
model, which is also favoured against a scenario where no correlation between
the CMB and NVSS catalogue is considered.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. Minor revision, accepted for publication in MNRA
