CMB Broad-Band Power Spectrum Estimation
The natural outcome of theoretical calculations of microwave background anisotropy is the angular power spectrum Cl as a function of multipole number l. Experimental Cl’s are needed for direct comparison. Estimation procedures using statistics linear in the pixel amplitudes as well as the conventional but less useful quadratic combinations are described. For most current experiments, a single b...
متن کاملJoint Bayesian Component Separation and Cmb Power Spectrum Estimation
We describe and implement an exact, flexible, and computationally efficient algorithm for joint component separation and CMB power spectrum estimation, building on a Gibbs sampling framework. Two essential new features are (1) conditional sampling of foreground spectral parameters and (2) joint sampling of all amplitude-type degrees of freedom (e.g., CMB, foreground pixel amplitudes, and global...
متن کاملFast optimal CMB power spectrum estimation with Hamiltonian sampling
We present a method for fast optimal estimation of the temperature angular power spectrum from observations of the cosmic microwave background. We employ a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampler to obtain samples from the posterior probability distribution of all the power spectrum coefficients given a set of observations. We compare the properties of the HMC and the related Gibbs sampling appro...
متن کاملCMB Power Spectrum Estimation for the Planck Surveyor
We use an iterative generalized least squares map-making algorithm, in conjunction with Monte Carlo techniques, to obtain estimates of the angular power spectrum from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. This is achieved by characterizing and removing the instrumental noise contribution in multipole space. This technique produces unbiased estimates and can be applied to an arbitrary experime...
متن کاملAngular-planar CMB power spectrum
Gaussianity and statistical isotropy of the universe are modern cosmology's minimal set of hypotheses. In this work we introduce a new statistical test to detect observational deviations from this minimal set. By de ning the temperature correlation function over the whole celestial sphere, we are able to independently quantify both angular and planar dependence (modulations) of the CMB temperat...
