Extragalactic sources in Cosmic Microwave Background maps
We discuss the potential of a next generation space-borne CMB experiment for studies of extragalactic sources with reference to COrE+, a project submitted to ESA in response to the call for a Medium-size mission (M4). We consider three possible options for the telescope size: 1m, 1.5m and 2m (although the last option is probably impractical, given the M4 boundary conditions). The proposed instr...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of undetected point sources in cosmic microwave background maps
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies follow a Gaussian statistical distribution in the standard inflationary model, but there are non-Gaussian contributions due to astrophysical foregrounds. The detection of the non-Gaussian signal due to extragalactic point sources and its distinction from the possible intrinsic non-Gaussianity is an issue of great importance in CMB analy...
متن کاملA novel multi-frequency technique for the detection of point sources in Cosmic Microwave Background maps
In this work we address the problem of simultaneus multi-frequency detection of extragalactic point sources in maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background. We apply a new linear filtering technique, the so called ‘matched matrix filters’, that incorporates full spatial information, including the cross-correlation among channels, without making any a priori assumption about the spectral behaviour of...
متن کاملSystematic Distortion in Cosmic Microwave Background Maps
To minimize instrumentally induced systematic errors, cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy experiments measure temperature differences across the sky using paires of horn antennas, temperature map is recovered from temperature differences obtained in sky survey through a map-making procedure. To inspect and calibrate residual systematic errors in recovered temperature maps is important ...
متن کاملExtracting cosmic microwave background polarisation from satellite astrophysical maps
We present the application of the Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) technique for blind component separation to polarised astrophysical emission. We study how the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarised signal, consisting of E and B modes, can be extracted from maps affected by substantial contamination from diffuse Galactic foregrounds and instrumental noise. We perform the ana...
