## Simulation of non-Gaussian CMB maps

Abstract:

A simple method is presented for the rapid simulation of statistically-isotropic non-Gaussian maps of CMB temperature fluctuations with a given power spectrum and analytically-calculable bispectrum and higher-order polyspectra. The $n$th-order correlators of the pixel values may also be calculated analytically. The cumulants of the simulated map may be used to obtain an expression for the probability density function of the pixel temperatures. The statistical properties of the simulated map a...
