Planck 2015 results. XII. Full Focal Plane simulations
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +228
We present the 8th Full Focal Plane simulation set (FFP8), deployed in support of the Planck 2015 results. FFP8 consists of 10 fiducial mission realizations reduced to 18144 maps,…
Planck 2015 results. XVI. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +242
We test the statistical isotropy and Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies using observations made by the Planck satellite. Our results are based mainly…
Planck 2015 results. IX. Diffuse component separation: CMB maps
Planck Collaboration, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +236
We present foreground-reduced CMB maps derived from the full Planck data set in both temperature and polarization. Compared to the corresponding Planck 2013 temperature sky maps, t…
Planck 2015 results. II. Low Frequency Instrument data processing
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +213
We present an updated description of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) data processing pipeline, associated with the 2015 data release. We point out the places where our re…
Low Variance at large scales of WMAP 9 year data
A. Gruppuso, P. Natoli, F. Paci +4
We use an optimal estimator to study the variance of the WMAP 9 CMB field at low resolution, in both temperature and polarization. Employing realistic Monte Carlo simulation, we fi…
Hemispherical power asymmetries in the WMAP 7-year low-resolution temperature and polarization maps
F. Paci, A. Gruppuso, F. Finelli +3
We test the hemispherical power asymmetry of the WMAP 7-year low-resolution temperature and polarization maps. We consider two natural estimators for such an asymmetry and exploit…
