This paper presents and discusses the application of blind source separation to astrophysical data obtained with the WMAP satellite. Blind separation permits to identify and isolate a component compatible with CMB emission, and to measure both its spatial power spectrum and its emission law. Both are found to be compatible with the present concordance cosmological model. This application demons...
متن کاملFully Bayesian Blind Source Separation of Astrophysical Images Modelled by Mixture of Gaussians
In this work, we address the problem of source separation in the presence of prior information. We develop a fully Bayesian source separation technique which assumes a generic model for the sources, namely Gaussian mixtures with a priori unknown number of components and utilise Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques for model parameter estimation. The development of this methodology is motivated b...
متن کاملImpact of calibration errors on CMB component separation using FastICA and ILC
The separation of emissions from different astrophysical processes is an important step towards the understanding of observational data. This topic of component separation is of particular importance in the observation of the relic Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, as performed by the WMAP satellite and the more recent Planck mission, launched May 14th, 2009 from Kourou and currently takin...
متن کاملSeparation of Correlated Astrophysical Sources Using Multiple-Lag Data Covariance Matrices
This paper proposes a new strategy to separate astrophysical sources that are mutually correlated. This strategy is based on secondorder statistics and exploits prior information about the possible structure of the mixing matrix. Unlike ICA blind separation approaches, where the sources are assumed mutually independent and no prior knowledge is assumed about the mixing matrix, our strategy allo...
متن کاملDiffuse source separation in CMB observations
Spectacular advances in the understanding of the Big-Bang model of cosmology have been due to increasingly accurate observations of the properties of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The detector sensitivities of modern experiments have permitted to measure fluctuations of the CMB temperature with such a sensitivity that the contamination of the data by astrophysical foreground radiations...
