Five - Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP 1 ) Observations : Galactic Foreground Emission
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new estimate of foreground emission in the WMAP data, using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. The new technique delivers maps of each foreground component for a variety of foreground models with estimates

Three-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (wmap) Observations: Foreground Polarization
We present a full-sky model of polarized Galactic microwave emission based on three years of observations by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) at frequencies from 23 to 94 GHz. The model compares maps of the Stokes Q and U components from each of the 5 WMAP frequency bands in order to separate synchrotron from dust emission, taking into account the spatial and frequency dependence...
متن کاملFirst Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Foreground Emission
The WMAP mission has mapped the full sky to determine the geometry, content, and evolution of the universe. Full sky maps are made in five microwave frequency bands to separate the temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from foreground emission, including diffuse Galactic emission and Galactic and extragalactic point sources. We define masks that excise regions of high ...
متن کاملThree Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (wmap ) Observations: Polarization Analysis
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP ) has mapped the entire sky in five frequency bands between 23 and 94 GHz with polarization sensitive radiometers. We present three-year full-sky maps of the polarization and analyze them for foreground emission and cosmological implications. These observations open up a new window for understanding how the universe began and help set a foundation ...

متن کاملThe hot and cold spots in five-year WMAP data
We present an extensive frequentist analysis of the one-point statistics (number, mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) and two-point correlation functions determined for the local extrema of the cosmic microwave background temperature field observed in five-years of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data. Application of a hypothesis test on the one-point statistics indicates a low-v...
