Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Bayesian Estimation of CMB Polarization Maps
J. Dunkley, D. N. Spergel, E. Komatsu +17
We describe a sampling method to estimate the polarized CMB signal from observed maps of the sky. We use a Metropolis-within-Gibbs algorithm to estimate the polarized CMB map, cont…
Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Angular Power Spectra
M. R. Nolta, J. Dunkley, R. S. Hill +17
We present the temperature and polarization angular power spectra of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) derived from the first 5 years of WMAP data. The 5-year temperature (TT)…
Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Likelihoods and Parameters from the WMAP data
J. Dunkley, E. Komatsu, M. R. Nolta +16
This paper focuses on cosmological constraints derived from analysis of WMAP data alone. A simple LCDM cosmological model fits the five-year WMAP temperature and polarization data.…
Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)Observations: Beam Maps and Window Functions
R. S. Hill, J. L. Weiland, N. Odegard +15
Cosmology and other scientific results from the WMAP mission require an accurate knowledge of the beam patterns in flight. While the degree of beam knowledge for the WMAP one-year…
Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Cosmological Interpretation
E. Komatsu, J. Dunkley, M. R. Nolta +16
(Abridged) The WMAP 5-year data strongly limit deviations from the minimal LCDM model. We constrain the physics of inflation via Gaussianity, adiabaticity, the power spectrum shape…
Optical Design of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and the Millimeter Bolometric Array Camera
J. W. Fowler, M. D. Niemack, S. R. Dicker +20
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope is a 6-meter telescope designed to map the Cosmic Microwave Background simultaneously at 145 GHz, 215 GHz, and 280 GHz with arcminute resolution. Ea…
