[58.04] Three-Point Correlations in the Microwave Sky at 90 GHz

J. Jewell, M. Dragovan (Univ. of Chicago, IL.)

We compute the three-point correlations in the microwave sky at 90 Ghz using the Python III data set. The statistical significance of the results are established with Monte Carlo simulations of the experiment within a chosen Gaussian hypothesis. We also explore an alternative Bayesian approach to the test for non-Gaussianity using models characterized by non-vanishing three-point correlations.
