Figure 6

Maps of obtained from the analysis of the QVW map derived from the WMAP data. Left panel corresponds to the study of the real space case, while right panel shows the outcome of the analysis of the SMHW coefficients at  arcmin. Whereas for the former there are not particular signatures in the map, the wavelet analysis shows some prominent features, being the Cold Spot the most pronounced one.
