چکیده

Kinematic dipole signal originates from the motion of the Sun with respect to the CMB rest frame. It is a remarkable signal, two orders of magnitude larger than the observed pattern of CMB anisotropies. Therefore the dipole subtraction from the main beam is of primary importance. But what happens to the dipole signal entering the main spillover (i.e. the most relevant far antenna pattern feature, responsible for the bulk of the straylight effect)? We present here an analytical and statistical study of this systematic effect for a spinning space-mission like PLANCK ∗.

The impact of dipole straylight contamination on the alignment of low multipoles of CMB anisotropies

We estimate the impact of the Dipole Straylight Contamination (DSC) for the Planck satellite on the alignments of vectors associated to the low multipoles of the pattern of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. In particular we study how the probability distributions of eighteen estimators for the alignments change when DSC is taken into account. We find that possible residual DSC...

On the dipole straylight contamination in spinning space missions dedicated to CMB anisotropy

We present an analysis of the dipole straylight contamination (DSC) for spinning space-missions designed to measure CMB anisotropies. Although this work is mainly devoted to the Planck project, it is relatively general and allows to focus on the most relevant DSC implications. We first study a simple analytical model for the DSC in which the pointing direction of the main spillover can be assum...

Planck LFI : Comparison Between Galaxy Straylight Contamination and other Systematic Effects

The straylight contamination due to the Galactic emission (GSC, Galaxy Straylight Contamination) entering at large angles from the antenna centre direction may be one of the most critical sources of systematic effects in observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies by future satellite missions like Planck and MAP. For the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI), this effect is expe...

Trade - off between angular resolution and straylight contamination in CMB anisotropy experiments

Satellite CMB anisotropy missions, such as WMAP and Planck, and also the new generation of balloon-borne and ground experiments, make use of complex multi-frequency instruments at the focus of a meter class telescope to allow the joint study of CMB and foreground anisotropies, necessary for a high quality component separation. Between ∼ 70 GHz and ∼ 300 GHz, where foreground contamination is mi...

2 8 Se p 20 12 Dipole leakage and low CMB multipoles

A number of studies of WMAP-7 have highlighted that the power at the low multipoles in CMB power spectrum are lower than their theoretically predicted values. Angular correlation between the orientations of these low multipoles have also been discovered. While these observations may have cosmological ramification, it is important to investigate possible observational artifacts that can mimic th...
