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…
Three-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Beam Profiles, Data Processing, Radiometer Characterization and Systematic Error Limits
N. Jarosik, C. Barnes, M. R. Greason +18
The WMAP satellite has completed 3 years of observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The 3-year data products include several sets of full sky maps of the Stokes…
Three-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Temperature Analysis
G. Hinshaw, M. R. Nolta, C. L. Bennett +19
We present new full-sky temperature maps in five frequency bands from 23 to 94 GHz, based on the first three years of the WMAP sky survey. The new maps, which are consistent with t…
Three Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Polarization Analysis
L. Page, G. Hinshaw, E. Komatsu +20
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…
