Query: WMAP confirming the ellipticity in BOOMERanG and COBE CMB maps   The recent study of BOOMERanG 150 GHz Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)
radiation maps have detected ellipticity of the temperature anisotropy spots
independent on the temperature threshold. The effect has been found for spots
up to several degrees in size, where the biases of the ellipticity estimator
and of the noise are small. To check the effect, now we have studied, with the
same algorithm and in the same sky region, the WMAP maps. We find ellipticity
of the same average value also in WMAP maps, despite of the different
sensitivity of the two experiments to low multipoles. Large spot elongations
had been detected also for the COBE-DMR maps. If this effect is due to geodesic
mixing and hence due to non precisely zero curvature of the hyperbolic
Universe, it can be linked to the origin of WMAP low multipoles anomaly.
