(a): mean value and standard deviation of the squeezed isosceles bispectrum for radians. The dashed line is the best power law fit. (b) shows its rescaling by showing the dependency. The spurious plateau (dotted) for the lower multipoles comes from a numerical cutoff associated with the window functions and occurs at , the field of view being .
