Description
We introduce a pixel-to-pixel comparison method to detect the
temperature anisotropies on the Cosmic Microwave Background induced by
the time variation of gravitational potentials along the line of sight.
We demonstrate it to be more sensitive than the cross-correlation method
used in previous studies. We compare the recent WMAP data with templates
constructed from galaxy catalogues. A positive cross-correlation between
both data sets will be a signature of an accelerated expansion of the
Universe. Contrary to other authors, we fail to detect any signal,
except those coming from foreground residuals. Either the effect of an
accelerated expansion is not present on the WMAP data or the galaxy
catalogues at present do not trace the evolution of the large scale
gravitational field.
