HFI maps power spectra[edit]

Angular power spectra of cut sky CMB dominated maps are provided to allow independent cosmological analysis at high [math]\ell[/math].

Product description[edit]

The auto and cross-spectra of the 13 detector set (detset) maps at 100, 143 and 217 GHz, all analyzed on the same 42.8% of the sky, 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 has been performed.

For each pair of detectors [math]X[/math] and [math]Y[/math], are provided,

  • the unbinned estimated power spectrum [math]\hat{C}^{XY}_\ell[/math] for all [math]\ell[/math] from 0 to 3508 (see Figure 1 below), as well as
  • the unbinned symmetric covariance matrix

\begin{align} 

  \hat{M}^{XY}_{\ell \ell'} \equiv \langle\Delta \hat{C}^{XY}_\ell\Delta \hat{C}^{XY}_{\ell'}\rangle
  \label{eq:covmatCl}

\end{align} for all [math]\ell[/math] on the same range. At the price of some extra hypotheses, that information can be used to build the likelihood of a given theoretical power spectrum [math]C_{\ell}[/math] given the data, and therefore determine the best cosmological models fitting the data. Several examples of such high-[math]\ell[/math] likelihoods are described, discussed and compared in Planck-2013-XV[1].

$ \newcommand{\bfE}{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{E}}} \newcommand{\bfM}{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{M}}} \newcommand{\bfx}{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} \newcommand{\lmax}{\ell_{\mathrm{max}}} $ Note that [math]\hat{\bfM}[/math] only describes the statistical covariance of the power spectrum induced by the signal and noise of the input map on the cut sky begin analyzed. Most sources of systematic effects (such as uncertainty on the beam modeling) as well as post-processing steps (such as foreground subtraction) will increase the covariance. In the particular case of the uncertainty on the beam window functions [math]B(l)[/math], the RIMO provides for each pair [math]XY[/math] a set of eigen-vectors [math]E_{p}^{XY}(\ell)[/math] of the relative error on [math]B^{XY}_{\ell}[/math] (see "HFI time response and beams paper"HFI time response paper[2]Planck-2013-VII ), defined for [math]p[/math] in [math][1,5][/math] and [math]\ell[/math] in [math][0, \lmax][/math] (with [math]\lmax[/math] being 2500, 3000 or 4000 when the lowest of the nominal frequencies of the detectors [math]X[/math] and [math]Y[/math] is respectively 100, 143 or 217GHz). The extra contribution to the covariance of [math]C^{XY}_\ell[/math] is then \begin{align} 

  \hat{M}^{XY, \mathrm{beam}}_{\ell_1 \ell_2} = 4 \hat{C}^{XY}_{\ell_1} \hat{C}^{XY}_{\ell_2} \sum_{p=1}^{5} E^{XY}_p(\ell_1) E^{XY}_p(\ell_2).
  \label{eq:covmatBeam}

\end{align}

Figure 1: The 91 auto- (dotted lines) and cross- (solid lines) angular power spectra [math]\hat{C}_\ell[/math], shown here after a binning of [math]\Delta \ell = 31[/math], grouped by frequencies. For instance the top left panel, tagged 100x100 (3), contains the three spectra 100-ds1x100-ds2, 100-ds1x100-ds1 and 100-ds1x100-ds2. The auto spectra are contaminated at high [math]\ell[/math] by the instrumental noise, and all of them may be affected by foreground contamination. The grey circles show the best Planck CMB high-[math]\ell[/math] power spectrum described in the CMB spectrum & Likelihood Code section


Auto and Cross Power Spectra[edit]

The spectra computed up to [math]l=3508[/math] using PolSpice[3][4] are corrected from the effect of the cut sky, and from the nominal beam window function and average pixel function. The different steps of the calculation are

  • computation of the Spherical Harmonics coefficients of the masked input maps [math]\Delta T^X(p)[/math] and of the input mask [math]w(p)[/math],

\begin{align} 

 \tilde{a}^X_{\ell m} = \sum_p \Omega_p\, \Delta T^X(p)\, w(p)\, Y^*_{\ell m}(p), \label{eq:almdef}

\end{align} \begin{align} 

 \tilde{w}^{(n)}_{\ell m} = \sum_p \Omega_p\ w^n(p)\, Y^*_{\ell m}(p); \label{eq:wlmdef}

\end{align} where the sum is done over all sky pixels [math]p[/math], [math]\Omega_p[/math] is the pixel area, and [math]n[/math] is either 1 or 2;

  • the sky (cross or auto) pseudo-power spectrum and mask power spectrum are computed from the [math]\tilde{a}_{\ell m}[/math] and [math]\tilde{w}_{\ell m}[/math],

\begin{align} 

 \tilde{C}^{XY}_\ell =  \sum_{\ell m} \tilde{a}^X_{ m} \tilde{a}^{Y^*}_{\ell m}   / (2 \ell + 1), \label{eq:alm2cl}

\end{align} \begin{align} 

 \tilde{W}^{(n)}_\ell =  \sum_{\ell m} \tilde{w}^{(n)}_{ m} {\tilde{w}^{(n)}}^*_{\ell m}   / (2 \ell + 1); \label{eq:wlm2wl}

\end{align}

  • the sky and mask angular correlation function are computed from the respective power spectra,

\begin{align} 

 \tilde{\xi}(\theta) = \sum_\ell \frac{2\ell+1}{4\pi} \tilde{C}_{\ell} P_\ell(\theta),\label{eq:cl2xi}

\end{align} \begin{align} 

 \tilde{\xi}_W(\theta) = \sum_\ell \frac{2\ell+1}{4\pi} \tilde{W}^{(1)}_{\ell} P_\ell(\theta),

\end{align} where [math]P_\ell[/math] is the Legendre Polynomial of order [math]\ell[/math];

  • the ratio of the sky angular correlation by the mask correlation provides the cut sky corrected angular correlation,

\begin{align} 

 \xi(\theta) = \tilde{\xi}(\theta) / \tilde{\xi}_W(\theta); \label{eq:xi_deconv}

\end{align}

  • the sky angular correlation function which is then turned into a angular power spectrum,

\begin{align} 

  {C'}_\ell =  2\pi \sum_i w_i \xi(\theta_i) P_\ell(\theta_i), \label{eq:xi2cl}

\end{align} where [math]w_i[/math] are the weights of the Gauss-Legendre quadrature, for [math]\theta[/math] in [math][0, \pi][/math];

  • the resulting power spectrum is corrected from the nominal beam window function [math]B_\ell[/math] and average pixel window function [math]w_{\mathrm{pix}}(\ell)[/math], to provide the final Spice estimator [math]\hat{C}_\ell[/math],

\begin{align} 

 \hat{C}_\ell = {C'}_\ell / \left( B^2_\ell w^2_{\mathrm{pix}}(\ell) \right). \label{eq:clfinal}

\end{align}

Covariance Matrices[edit]

The covariance matrix for the pair [math]XY[/math] is computed by PolSpice using the formalism described in[5], also sketched in the appendix of "CMB power spectra and likelihood paper"[6], assuming the instrumental noise to be white and uniform.

$ \newcommand{\hC}{\hat C} $ One note that a good approximation of the covariance matrix [math]\tilde{M}[/math] of the pseudo [math]\tilde{C}_{\ell}[/math] is related to the underlying estimated auto- and cross-spectra [math]\hC_{\ell}[/math] through \begin{align} \tilde{M}_{\ell_1\ell_2} \equiv \langle\Delta \tilde{C}^{XY}_{\ell_1}\Delta \tilde{C}^{XY}_{\ell_2}\rangle = \left( \left(\hC^{XX}_{\ell_1} \hC^{YY}_{\ell_1} \hC^{XX}_{\ell_2} \hC^{YY}_{\ell_2}\right)^{1/2} 

   + \hC^{XY}_{\ell_1} \hC^{XY}_{\ell_2} \right) 
 \sum_{\ell_3} \frac{2\ell_3+1}{4\pi} \tilde{W}^{(2)}_{\ell_3} \left(     
   \begin{array}{ccc}
       \! \ell_1\! & \ell_2\!  & \ell_3\!  \\
       \! 0     \! & 0     \!  & 0     \!
     \end{array}
 \right)^2,

\label{eq:covpseudo} \end{align} where [math]\tilde{W}^{(2)}_{\ell}[/math] is the power spectrum of the square of the pixel mask (Eqs. \ref{eq:wlmdef} and \ref{eq:wlm2wl} for [math]n=2[/math]). The covariance matrix [math]\hat{M}[/math] of the Spice estimator is then computed by applying Eqs. \ref{eq:cl2xi}, \ref{eq:xi_deconv}, \ref{eq:xi2cl} and \ref{eq:clfinal} on each row and column of [math]\tilde{M}[/math].


Inputs[edit]

Maps
The input maps are the 13 HFI detset (see Type of maps section for details) maps available at 100, 143 and 217 GHz. These are the same as the ones used for high-ell part of the likelihood code, but that code applies different masks for each cross-spectra in order to minimize further the foreground contamination.
Sky mask
All maps were analyzed on the 42.8% of the sky defined by the apodized mask HFI_PowerSpect_Mask_2048_R1.10.fits, which masks out Galactic Plane and point sources (see [6]), and which is shown in Figure 2 below
Figure 2: Apodized pixel mask used for HFI power spectrum estimation
Beam Window Function
The beam window functions [math]B(l)[/math], and their uncertainties, are the ones used in the high-ell likelihood analysis, described in section 6.1 "Error Eigenmodes" of [6] and provided in the HFI RIMO.

LFI 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 [math] \rm{ \mu K^2_{CMB}} [/math].

Production process[edit]

Spectra are computed using cROMAster, a implementation of the pseudo-Cl method described in [7]. In addition to the original approach, our implementation allows for estimation of cross-power spectra from two or more maps (see [8] 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.

The inputs are the following:

  • LFI Frequency Maps

Meta Data[edit]

The angular power spectra source list in each frequency is structured as a FITS binary table. The Fits extension is composed by the columns described below:


FITS header
Column Name Data Type Units Description
L Integer*4 ell parameter
TEMP_CL Real*8 uK[math]_{CMB}^2[/math] [math]C_l[/math] (temperature)
TEMP_CL_ERR Real*8 uK[math]_{CMB}^2[/math] [math]C_l[/math] error


Note.- in the comment keyword in the header, the galactic and point source maps used to generate the angular spectra are specified (LFI_MASK_030-ps_2048_R1.00.fits and COM_MASK_gal-06_2048_R1.00.fits in the example below). Note also that, due to an oversight, the mask description related to COM_MASK_gal-xxx is wrong and should refer to the galactic mask.
