B-mode CMB Polarization from Patchy Screening during Reionization
Cora Dvorkin, Wayne Hu, Kendrick M. Smith
B-modes in CMB polarization from patchy reionization arise from two effects: generation of polarization from scattering of quadrupole moments by reionization bubbles, and fluctuati…
Optimal limits on f_{NL}^{local} from WMAP 5-year data
Kendrick M. Smith, Leonardo Senatore, Matias Zaldarriaga
We have applied the optimal estimator for f_{NL}^{local} to the 5 year WMAP data. Marginalizing over the amplitude of foreground templates we get -4 < f_{NL}^{local} < 80 at 95% CL…
Reconstructing Patchy Reionization from the Cosmic Microwave Background
Cora Dvorkin, Kendrick M. Smith
We introduce a new statistical technique for extracting the inhomogeneous reionization signal from future high-sensitivity measurements of the cosmic microwave background temperatu…
Map-making in small field modulated CMB polarisation experiments: approximating the maximum-likelihood method
D. Sutton, B. R. Johnson, M. L. Brown +3
Map-making presents a significant computational challenge to the next generation of kilopixel CMB polarisation experiments. Years worth of time ordered data (TOD) from thousands of…
