Maximum Likelihood Foreground Cleaning for Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeters in the Presence of Systematic Effects
Chaoyun Bao, Carlo Baccigalupi, Ben Gold +3
We extend a general maximum likelihood foreground estimation for cosmic microwave background polarization data to include estimation of instrumental systematic effects. We focus on…
Results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
Eiichiro Komatsu, Charles L. Bennett
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) mapped the distribution of temperature and polarization over the entire sky in five microwave frequency bands. These full-sky maps w…
On quantifying and resolving the BICEP2/Planck tension over gravitational waves
Kendrick M. Smith, Cora Dvorkin, Latham Boyle +4
The recent BICEP2 measurement of primordial gravity waves (r = 0.2^{+0.07}_{-0.05}) appears to be in tension with the upper limit from WMAP (r<0.13 at 95% CL) and Planck (r<0.11 at…
Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Cosmological Parameter Results
G. Hinshaw, D. Larson, E. Komatsu +18
We present cosmological parameter constraints based on the final nine-year WMAP data, in conjunction with additional cosmological data sets. The WMAP data alone, and in combination…
Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Final Maps and Results
C. L. Bennett, D. Larson, J. L. Weiland +18
We present the final nine-year maps and basic results from the WMAP mission. We provide new nine-year full sky temperature maps that were processed to reduce the asymmetry of the e…
All-sky Observational Evidence for An Inverse Correlation between Dust Temperature and Emissivity Spectral Index
Z. Liang, D. J. Fixsen, B. Gold
We show that a one-component variable-emissivity-spectral-index model (the free-α model) provides more physically motivated estimates of dust temperature at the Galactic polar caps…
