The 4 Year COBE DMR data is non-Gaussian

Astrophysics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

I review our recent claim that there is evidence of non-Gaussianity in the 4 Year COBE DMR data. I describe the statistic we apply, the result we obtain and make a detailed list of the systematics we have analysed. I finish with a qualitative understanding of what it might be and its implications.
