Search for Non-Gaussianities in the WMAP Data with the Scaling Index Method

Figure 8

The 𝜎-normalised deviations 𝑆(𝑟) of the rotated hemispheres at the scale parameter 𝑟=0.2 for the mean (left column), the standard deviation (central column), and the diagonal 𝜒²-statistics (right column) for the coadded VW-Band (WMAP 5-year) without (top row) and with (second row) the appliance of the mask-filling method, as well as for the single Q-, V-, and W-bands (third to fifth row), for which the mask-filling method was always applied. Notice the different colour scaling for each plot.
