Destriping CMB temperature and polarization maps

چکیده

We study destriping as a map-making method for temperature-and-polarization data for cosmic microwave background observations. We present a particular implementation of destriping and study the residual error in output maps, using simulated data corresponding to the 70 GHz channel of the Planck satellite, but assuming idealized detector and beam properties. The relevant residual map is the difference between the output map and a binned map obtained from the signal + white noise part of the data stream. For destriping it can be divided into six components: unmodeled correlated noise, white noise reference baselines, reference baselines of the pixelization noise from the signal, and baseline errors from correlated noise, white noise, and signal. These six components contribute differently to the different angular scales in the maps. We derive analytical results for the first three components. This study is related to Planck LFI activities.

Effects of Destriping Errors on CMB Polarisation Power Spectra and and Pixel Noise Covariances

Low frequency detector noise in CMB experiments must be corrected to produce faithful maps of the temperature and polarization anisotropies. For a Planck-type experiment the low frequency noise corrections lead to residual stripes in the maps. Here I show that for a ring torus and idealised detector geometry it is possible to calculate analytically the effects of destriping errors on the temper...

Making CMB temperature and polarization maps with Madam

MADAM is a CMB map-making code, designed to make temperature and polarization maps of time-ordered data of total power experiments like Planck. The algorithm is based on the destriping technique, but it also makes use of known noise properties in the form of a noise prior. The method in its early form was presented in an earlier work by Keihänen et al. (2005). In this paper we present an update...

Destriping of Polarized Data in a CMB Mission with a Circular Scanning Strategy

A major problem in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy mapping, especially in a totalpower mode, is the presence of low-frequency noise in the data streams. If unproperly processed, such low-frequency noise leads to striping in the maps. To deal with this problem, solutions have already been found for mapping the CMB temperature fluctuations but no solution has yet been proposed for th...

Comparison of map-making algorithms for CMB experiments

We have compared cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps made from one-year time ordered data (TOD) streams that simulated observations of the originally planned 100 GHz P Low Frequency Instrument (LFI). The maps were made with the ROMA, MapCUMBA and destriping algorithms. We produced angular power spectrum estimates from the ROMA and destriping maps and compared them as well. ROMA and MapC...

Map-making in small field modulated CMB polarisation experiments: approximating the maximum-likelihood method

Map-making presents a significant computational challenge to the next generation of kilopixel CMB polarisation experiments. Years worth of time ordered data (TOD) from thousands of detectors will need to be compressed into maps of the T, Q and U Stokes parameters. Fundamental to the science goal of these experiments, the observation of B-modes, is the ability to control noise and systematics. F...
