摘要
We investigate bounds on the strength of the primordial magnetic field (PMF) from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) bispectra of the intensity (temperature) modes induced from the auto-and cross-correlated bispectra of the scalar and tensor components of the PMF anisotropic stress. At first, we construct a general formula for the CMB intensity and polarization bispectra from PMFs composed of any type of perturbation. Then we derive an approximate expression which traces the exact shape of the CMB bispectrum in order to reduce the computation time with respect to a large number of the multipole configurations, and also show that the non-Gaussian structure coming from PMFs is classified as the local-type configuration. Computing the signal-to-noise ratio on the basis of the approximate formula with the information of the instrumental noises and resolutions, we find expected upper bounds on the magnetic field strength, when the magnetic spectrum is nearly scale invariant (n(B) = -2.9), smoothed on 1Mpc scale at 95% confidence level from the WMAP and PLANCK experiments as B-1Mpc < 4.0 - 6.7nG and 3.8 - 6.5nG, respectively, depending on the energy scale of the magnetic field production from 10(14) GeV to 10(3) GeV. Our new consequences imply slight overestimations by the previous rough discussions.
