Estimating Microwave Power Spectra
INTRODUCTION A new method for estimating the power spectrum C ` from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps was recently presented by the author 1 and applied to the 2 year COBE data, giving the results in Figure 1. It was found that the spectral
متن کاملA simplified method of estimating noise power spectra
A technique to estimate the radial dependence of the noise power spectrum of images is proposed in which the calculations are conducted solely in the spatial domain of the noise image. The noise power spectrum averaged over a radial spatial-frequency interval is obtained from the variance of a noise image that has been convolved with a small kernel that approximates a Laplacian operator. Recurs...
متن کاملEstimating Background Spectra
All measurements consist of a mixture of the signal of interest and additional signals called the background. Here we focus on the problem of measuring infrared spectra emitted by interstellar clouds. The signals of interest are infrared emissions from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are a class of complex organic molecules. The PAH emissions are characterized by emission bands n...
متن کاملPower Spectra of the Cosmic Microwave Background and Density Fluctuations Seeded by Local Cosmic Strings
We compute the power spectra in the cosmic microwave background and cold dark matter (CDM) fluctuations seeded by strings, using the largest string simulations performed so far. We find that local strings differ from global defects in that the scalar components of the stress-energy tensor dominate over vector and tensor components. This result has far reaching consequences. We find that cosmic ...
متن کاملSECOND AND THIRD SEASON QUaD COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND TEMPERATURE AND POLARIZATION POWER SPECTRA
We report results from the second and third seasons of observation with the QUaD experiment. Angular power spectra of the cosmic microwave background are derived for both temperature and polarization at both 100 GHz and 150 GHz, and as cross-frequency spectra. All spectra are subjected to an extensive set of jackknife tests to probe for possible systematic contamination. For the implemented dat...
