Spherical Needlets for CMB Data Analysis
D. Marinucci, D. Pietrobon, A. Balbi +6
We discuss Spherical Needlets and their properties. Needlets are a form of spherical wavelets which do not rely on any kind of tangent plane approximation and enjoy good localizati…
CMB Power Spectrum Estimation for the Planck Surveyor
A. Balbi, G. de Gasperis, P. Natoli +1
We use an iterative generalized least squares map-making algorithm, in conjunction with Monte Carlo techniques, to obtain estimates of the angular power spectrum from cosmic microw…
CMB Polarization: Scientific Case and Data Analysis Issues
A. Balbi, P. Cabella, G. de Gasperis +2
We review the science case for studying CMB polarization. We then discuss the main issues related to the analysis of forth-coming polarized CMB data, such as those expected from ba…
On the primordial helium content: CMB and stellar constraints
G. Bono, A. Balbi, S. Cassisi +2
We present the results of a joint investigation aimed at constraining the primordial He content () on the basis of both the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy and tw…
First results from the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
We report the first results from the BOOMERanG experiment, which mapped at 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz a wide (3%) region of the microwave sky with minimal local contamination. From t…
Fast Spherical Harmonic Analysis: a quick algorithm for generating and/or inverting full sky, high resolution CMB Anisotropy maps
Pio Francesco Muciaccia, Paolo Natoli, Nicola Vittorio
We present a fast algorithm for generating full sky, high resolution () simulations of the CMB anisotropy pattern. We also discuss the inverse problem, that of evaluating…
