Effects of Destriping Errors on Estimates of the CMB Power Spectrum | | G. Efstathiou

28 Jul 2004 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 356 (2005) 1549-1558 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | Destriping methods for constructing maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies have been investigated extensively in the literature. However, their error properties have been studied in less detail. Here we present an analysis of the effects of destriping errors on CMB power spectrum estimates for Planck-like scanning strategies. Analytic formulae are derived for certain simple scanning geometries that can be rescaled to account for different detector noise. Assuming {Planck-like low-frequency noise, the noise power spectrum is accurately white at high multipoles (l<50). D estriping errors, though dominant at lower multipoles, are small in comparison to the cosmic variance. These results show that simple destriping map-making methods should be perfectly adequate for the analysis of Planck data and support the arguments given in an earlier paper in favour of applying a fast hybrid power spectrum estimator to CMB data with realistic `1/f’ noise. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0407571 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
