Beam window functions have computed with the Febecop Pipeline (as described there), and the QuickPol pipeline (see Hivon et al, 2017[1], and the Planck 2016 Likelihood paper[2]).
The beam window functions relate, over the full sky or over a masked sky, the angular power spectrum measured (in the absence of noise) on a map produced by a set of detectors CMB).
, to the true underlying sky angular power spectrum (assumed to have isotropic statistical properties, as is the case for theQuickPol effective beam window functions[edit]
They are available in two forms:
- The beam window functions
such that HFI maps). They are provided in FITS files, in a format compatible with HEALPix tools such as synfast and smoothing, as well as with PolSpice.
for X=T, E or B, and where is the pixel window function, which depends on the resolution parameter Nside (=2048 for Planck- Beam matrices:
such that for X,Y,X',Y'= T, E or B
