Cosmic microwave background power spectrum estimation with the destriping technique
Extraction of the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) angular power spectrum is a challenging task for current and future CMB experiments due to the large data sets involved. Here we describe an implementation of MASTER (Monte carlo Apodised Spherical Transform EstimatoR) described in Hivon et al. (2002) which exploits the destriping technique as a mapmaking method. In this method a noise estimat...
متن کاملDestriping cosmic microwave background polarimeter data
Destriping is a well-established technique for removing low-frequency correlated noise from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) survey data. In this paper we present a destriping algorithm tailored to data from a polarimeter, i.e. an instrument where each channel independently measures the polarization of the input signal. We also describe a fully parallel implementation in Python released as Ope...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Microwave Background: beyond the Power Spectrum
Much recent work on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) has focussed on the angular power spectrum of temperature anisotropies and particularly on the recovery of cosmological parameters from acoustic peaks in the power spectrum. However, there is more that can conceivably be done with CMB measurements. Here I briefly survey a few such ideas: cross-correlation with other cosmic backgrounds as...
متن کاملWeak lensing of the cosmic microwave background: Power spectrum covariance
We discuss the non-Gaussian contribution to the power spectrum covariance of cosmic microwave background ~CMB! anisotropies resulting through weak gravitational lensing angular deflections and the correlation of deflections with secondary sources of temperature fluctuations generated by the large scale structure, such as the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect and the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect. This ...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background power spectrum estimation with non-circular beam and incomplete sky coverage
Over the last decade, measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy have spearheaded the remarkable transition of cosmology into a precision science. However, addressing the systematic effects in the increasingly sensitive, high-resolution, ‘full’ sky measurements from different CMB experiments poses a stiff challenge. The analysis techniques must not only be computationally ...
