Evidence of Quasi-linear Super-Structures in the Cosmic Microwave Background and Galaxy Distribution 1 2 3 Kaiki Taro Inoue , Nobuyuki Sakai and Kenji Tomita 0 1 0 ABSTRACT 2 t c Recent measurements of hot and cold spots on the cosmic microwave back- O −1 ground (CMB) sky suggest a presence of super-structures on ( 100 h Mpc) 7 2 scales. We develop a new formalism to estimate the expected amplitude of ] temperature fluctuations due to the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect from O prominent quasi-linear structures. Applying the developed tools to the observed C ISW signals from voids and clusters in catalogs of galaxies at redshifts z 1, . h we find that they indeed imply a presence of quasi-linear super-structures with a p −1 - comoving radius 100 ∼ 300 h Mpc and a density contrast |δ| ∼ O(0.1). We also o r find that the observed ISW signals are at odd with the concordant Λ cold dark t s matter (CDM) model that predicts Gaussian primordial perturbations at 3 σ a [ level. We confirm that the mean temperature around the CMB cold spot in the 2 southern Galactic hemisphere filtered by a compensating top-hat filter deviates v from a mean value at ∼ 3 σ level, implying that a quasi-linear supervoid or an 0 5 underdensity region surrounded by a massive wall may reside at low redshifts 2
