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: 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…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Beam Profiles and Window Functions
L. Page, C. Barnes, G. Hinshaw +11
Knowledge of the beam profiles is of critical importance for interpreting data from cosmic microwave background experiments. In this paper, we present the characterization of the i…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Preliminary Maps and Basic Results
C. L. Bennett, M. Halpern, G. Hinshaw +18
We present full sky microwave maps in five bands (23 to 94 GHz) from the WMAP first year sky survey. Calibration errors are <0.5% and the low systematic error level is well specifi…
The Optical Design and Characterization of the Microwave Anisotropy Probe
L. Page, C. Jackson, C. Barnes +12
The primary goal of the MAP satellite, now in orbit, is to make high fidelity polarization sensitive maps of the full sky in five frequency bands between 20 and 100 GHz. From these…
