A Bayesian technique for the detection of point sources in CMB maps
The detection and flux estimation of point sources in cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps is a very important task in order to clean the maps and also to obtain relevant astrophysical information. In this paper we propose a maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach detection method in a Bayesian scheme which incorporates prior information about the source flux distribution, the locations and the n...
متن کاملWeak Lensing Detection in CMB Maps
The weak lensing effects are known to change only weakly the shape of the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature fluctuations. I show here that they nonetheless induce specific non-Gaussian effects that can be detectable with the fourpoint correlation function of the CMB anisotropies. The magnitude and geometrical dependences of this correlation function are investi...
متن کاملThe Mexican Hat Wavelet Family . Application to point source detection in CMB maps
We propose a new detection technique in the plane based on an isotropic wavelet family. This family is naturally constructed as an extension of the Gaussian-Mexican Hat Wavelet pair and for that reason we call it the Mexican Hat Wavelet Family (MHWF). We show the performance of these wavelets when dealing with the detection of extragalactic point sources in cosmic microwave background (CMB) map...
متن کاملDetection of point sources
Photometry of individual sources requires an initial phase of detection. The detection process can be separated into two phases: (1) preprocessing of the image, and (2) actual detection, yielding a list of discrete sources. Given a distribution of background intensities, the probabilityof intensitydeviations for light sources as a result of the background can be calculated. Setting a maximum ac...
متن کاملPoint sources in the MAP sky maps
We discuss point sources foregrounds for the MAP experiment. We consider several possible strategies for removing them and we assess how the statistics of the CMB signal are affected by the residual sources. Assuming a power law distribution for the point sources, we propose a method aimed to determine the slope of the distribution from the analysis of the moments of the observed maps. The same...
