Construction of a Database of Cmb Spectrum Observations
نویسنده
چکیده
SUMMARY – We present the complete set of the measures of the CMB absolute temperature on the basis on the works published in the literature, recognize the main causes of error with the aim of estimating separately the magnitude of the systematic and statistical errors, by focussing in particular on the most recent observations. The main purpose of this work is to create a complete and reasoned database of CMB absolute temperatures. The simple database format permits a reading of the data through any text editor or through programs for data handling. This is the first step for a statistical analysis of CMB spectrum data and their comparison with the theoretical predictions for the distorted spectra in order to derive constraints on physical processes at very high redshifts.

A Blind Estimation of the Power Spectrum of Cmb Anisotropy from Wmap
The angular power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation has proved to be an excellent observation to measure different cosmological parameters. In order to extract cosmological parameters precisely we need to remove foreground contamination as well as detector noise bias. In this paper we present a framework to extract CMB angular power spectrum from the multi-frequency observ...
متن کاملDetermining Foreground Contamination in CMB Observations: Diffuse Galactic Emission in the MAXIMA-I Field
Observations of the CMB can be contaminated by diffuse foreground emission from sources such as Galactic dust and synchrotron radiation. In these cases, the morphology of the contaminating source is known from observations at different frequencies, but not its amplitude at the frequency of interest for the CMB. We develop a technique for accounting for the effects of such emission in this case,...

Accurate measurements of angular power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation has lead to marked improvement in the estimates of different cosmological parameters. This has required removal of foreground contamination as well as detector noise bias with reliability and precision. We present the estimation of CMB angular power spectrum from the multi-frequency observations of WM...
متن کاملMarginal Distributions for Cosmic Variance Limited Cmb Polarization Data
We provide computationally convenient expressions for all marginal distributions of the polarization CMB power spectrum distribution P (Cl|σl), where Cl = {CTT l , C l , C l , C l } denotes the set of ensemble averaged polarization CMB power spectra, and σl = {σTT l , σ l , σ l , σ l } the set of the realization specific polarization CMB power spectra. This distribution describes the CMB power ...
