HFI detset maps power spectra[edit]
EFH to add the purpose of these spectra and of the associated covariance matrices, and a description of how they are obtained, including the inputs used to build them (maps, beams, mask),
Angular power spectra of cut sky CMB dominated maps are provided to allow independent cosmological analysis at high ell.
Product description[edit]
For HFI, the auto and cross-spectra of the 13 detector (set) maps at 100, 143 and 217GHz, all analyzed on the same 42.8% of the sky for ease of comparison are provided. The mask used is apodized to reduce the power leakage from large scale to small scale (see input section). Except for the removal of the most contaminated pixels through masking, no attempt at astrophysical components separation is performed. The unbinned XY in units of μK are available for all from 0 to 3508.
The HFI time response and beams" paper.
XY XY covariance matrix also is provided in order to perform correct model fitting and cosmological parameter estimation. It only describes the statistical correlation induced by the sample variance and cut sky. For correlations induced by the uncertainty on the beam window functions, the relevant beam information should be read from the RIMO and from the "Planck 2013 results. VII.Production process[edit]
Description of the Pipeline used to generate the product. In particular any limitations and approximations used in the data processing should be listed. Avoiding detailed descriptions of methods and referring to other parts of the ES and/or the relevant Planck papers for the details. References however should be quite detailed (i.e. it is not enough to direct the user to a paper, but the relevant section in the paper should be provided).
The spectra computed up to ell=3508 using PolSpice (http://prof.planck.fr/article141.html, Chon et al (2004))
are corrected from the effect of the cut sky, and from the nominal beam window
function and average pixel function.
The covariance matrix is computed by PolSpice
using the formalism described in Efstathiou (2004), also sketched in the appendix
of "Planck 2013 results. XV. CMB power spectra and likelihood" paper, assuming the instrumental noise to be white and uniform.
The products described here (spectra and covariances) only are adapted for high-ell study of the CMB fluctuations.
Inputs[edit]
A list (and brief description to the extent possible) of the input data used to generate this product (down to file names), as well as any external ancillary data sets which were used.
Masks[edit]
The pixel mask is the product of the so-called Galactic mask2 apodized to 2degrees, with a point source mask apodized at 30arcmin combining the sources detected by HFI at any frequency between 100 and 353GHz with the SZ and ERCSC sources catalog. It is available as a FITS file under the name HFI_PowerSpect_Mask_2048_R1.10.fits
Maps[edit]
The 13 inputs maps are the same as the ones used for high-ell part of the Planck Likelihood Code, but that code applies different masks for each cross-spectra in order to minimize further the foreground contamination.
Beam Window Function[edit]
The beam window functions B(l), and their uncertainties, are the ones used in the high-ell likelihood analysis, and provided in the RIMO HFI_RIMO_R1.10.fits
Related products[edit]
A description of other products that are related and share some commonalities with the product being described here. E.g. if the description is of a generic product (e.g. frequency maps), all the products falling into that type should be listed and referenced.
If none, please delete this section

LFI frequency maps power spectra[edit]
Product description[edit]
The angular power spectrum provides information about the distribution of power on the sky map at the various angular scales. It is especially important for CMB, because it is characterized by a number of features, most notably the acoustic peaks, that encode the dependence from cosmological parameters. Therefore, angular power spectra are the basic inputs for the Planck Likelihood Code, and for estimation of cosmological parameters in general.
For this release we have computed only temperature power spectra. Polarization is not included.
Please note that these spectra come from frequency maps. No component separation has been applied, and we have only masked Galactic Plane and detected point sources. Units are
.Production process[edit]
Spectra are computed using cROMAster, a implementation of the pseudo-Cl method described in Hivon et al, 2002. In addition to the original approach, our implementation allows for estimation of cross-power spectra from two or more maps (see Polenta et al, 2005, for details). The software package uses HEALPix modules for spherical harmonic transform and Cl calculation. The schematic of the estimation process is as follows:
- computing the a_lm coefficients from the input temperature map after masking Galactic Plane and point sources.
- computing the pseudo power spectrum from the alms.
- estimating the bias due to the noise power spectrum of the map from noise-only Monte Carlo simulations based on detector noise properties
- correcting for the effect of the adopted mask by computing the mode-mode coupling kernel corresponding to that mask
- deconvolving the effect due to the finite angular resolution of the telescope by using the beam window function
- deconvolving the effect due to the finite size of the pixel in the map by using a pixel window function
- binning the power spectrum from individual multipoles into bandpowers
- estimating error bars on bandpowers from signal plus noise Monte Carlo simulations, where signal simulations include only CMB anisotropies.
