Hot pixel contamination in the CMB correlation function
Recently, it was suggested that the map-making procedure, which is applied to the time-ordered CMB data by the WMAP team, might be flawed by the inclusion of hot pixels. This leads to a bias in the pixels having an angular distance of 141◦ from hot pixels due to the differential measuring process of the satellite WMAP. Here, the bias is confirmed, and the temperature two-point correlation funct...
متن کاملEvidence for a Significant Blazar Contamination in CMB Anisotropy Maps
The analysis of the recent WMAP source catalog shows that the vast majority of bright foreground extragalactic sources detected in CMB maps are Blazars. In this paper we calculate the contamination of CMB anisotropy maps by this type of flat-spectrum, strongly variable and polarized extragalactic radio sources using upto-date results from recent deep multi-frequency surveys. From a careful arch...

متن کاملPoint source contamination in CMB non-Gaussianity analyses
In this paper we analyze the biasing effect of point sources, either thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich clusters or standard radio sources, on the estimated strength of the non-Gaussianity in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We show that the biggest contribution comes from the cross correlation of the CMB with the matter density rather than from the Poisson term which is conventionally assumed in ...
متن کاملProducing Mega-pixel CMB Maps from Differential Radiometer Data
A major goal of cosmology is to obtain sensitive, high resolution maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy. Such maps, as would be produced by the recently proposed Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP), will contain a wealth of primary information about conditions in the early universe. To mitigate systematic effects when observing the microwave background, it is desirable for the r...
