Iterative map-making methods for Cosmic Microwave Background data analysis

The map-making process of Cosmic Microwave Background data involves linear inversion problems which cannot be performed by a brute force approach for the large timelines of most modern experiments. We present optimal iterative map-making methods, both COBE and Wiener, and apply these methods on simulated data. They produce very well restored maps, by removing nearly completely the correlated noise that appears as intense stripes on the simply pixel-averaged maps.
