Comparing and combining the Saskatoon, QMAP and COBE CMB maps
Yongzhong Xu, Max Tegmark, Angelica de Oliveira-Costa +5
We present a method for comparing and combining maps with different resolutions and beam shapes, and apply it to the Saskatoon, QMAP and COBE/DMR data sets. Although the Saskatoon…
Galactic Observations at 31, 42 and 144~GHz with the Mobile Anisotropy Telescope
J. L. Puchalla, R. Caldwell, K. L. Cruz +8
We present multi-frequency maps of a portion of the Galactic Plane centered on a declination of -60 degrees with resolutions ranging from 0.2 to 0.9 degrees. The maps are optimized…
Galactic contamination in the QMAP experiment
Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, Max Tegmark, Mark J. Devlin +6
We quantify the level of foreground contamination in the QMAP Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data with two objectives: (a) measuring the level to which the QMAP power spectrum m…
A Measurement of the Angular Power Spectrum of the Microwave Background Made from the High Chilean Andes
E. Torbet, M. J. Devlin, W. B. Dorwart +6
We report on a measurement of the angular spectrum of the anisotropy of the microwave sky at 30 and 40 GHz between l=50 and l=200 over approximately 600 sq. deg. The data support a…
A Measurement of the Angular Power Spectrum of the CMB from l = 100 to 400
A. D. Miller, R. Caldwell, M. J. Devlin +7
We report on a measurement of the angular spectrum of the CMB between and made at 144 GHz from Cerro Toco in the Chilean altiplano. When the new data…
Mapping the CMB III: combined analysis of QMAP flights
Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, Mark Devlin, Tom Herbig +4
We present results from the QMAP balloon experiment, which maps the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and probes its angular power spectrum on degree scales. In two separate flight…
Mapping the CMB II: the second flight of the QMAP experiment
Tom Herbig, Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, Mark Devlin +3
We report the results from the second flight of QMAP, an experiment to map the cosmic microwave background near the North Celestial Pole. We present maps of the sky at 31 and 42 GH…
Extragalactic Foregrounds of the Cosmic Microwave Background: Prospects for the MAP Mission
A. Refregier, D. N. Spergel, T. Herbig
(Abridged) While the major contribution to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies are the sought-after primordial fluctuations produced at the surface of last scatterin…
Measurements of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect in the Nearby Clusters A478, A2142 and A2256
S. T. Myers, J. E. Baker, A. C. S. Readhead +2
This paper reports the measurement of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) in the nearby clusters A478, A2142 and A2256 at 32 GHz. These clusters are part of a complete X-ray flux li…
