Issues and methods for CMB anisotropy data reduction
Major issues and existing methods for the reduction of CMB anisotropy data are reviewed. An emphasis is put on the importance of proper modelling of the data. It is suggested that the robustness of methods could be improved by taking into account the uncertainty of the model for finding optimal solutions.
متن کاملSlow-roll Inflation and Cmb Anisotropy Data
We emphasize that the estimation of cosmological parameters from CMB anisotropy data, such as the recent high resolution maps from BOOMERanG and MAXIMA-1, requires assumptions on the primordial spectra. The latter are predicted from inflation. The physically best motivated scenario is slow-roll inflation. However, very often the unphysical power-law inflation scenario is (implicitly) assumed in...
متن کاملAnalysis Issues for Large Cmb Data Sets
Multi-frequency, high resolution, full sky measurements of the anisotropy in both temperature and polarisation of the cosmic microwave background radiation are the goals of the satellite missions MAP (NASA) and Planck (ESA). The ultimate data products of these missions — multiple microwave sky maps, each of which will have to comprise more than ∼ 106 pixels in order to render the angular resolu...
متن کاملEstimators for CMB Statistical Anisotropy
We use quadratic maximum-likelihood (QML) estimators to constrain models with Gaussian but statistically anisotropic CMB fluctuations, using CMB maps with realistic sky-coverage and instrumental noise. This approach is optimal when the anisotropy is small, or when checking for consistency with isotropy. We demonstrate the power of the QML approach by applying it to the WMAP data to constrain se...
