HFI detset maps power spectra[edit]



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

Product description[edit]

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, 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.

For each pair of detectors $X$ and $Y$, are provided,

  • the unbinned power spectrum $C^{XY}_\ell$ for all $\ell$ from 0 to 3508, as well as
  • the unbinned symmetric covariance matrix

\begin{align}

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

\end{align} for all $\ell$ on the same range.

$ \newcommand{\bfE}{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{E}}} \newcommand{\bfM}{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{M}}} \newcommand{\bfx}{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} \newcommand{\lmax}{\ell_{\mathrm{max}}} $ Note that $M$ 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 $B(l)$, the RIMO provides for each pair $XY$ a set of eigen-vectors $\bfE^{XY}$ of $B^{XY}_{\ell}$ (see "HFI time response and beams paper"planck2013-p03c), where $\bfE^{XY}$ is a matrix with 5 rows and $\lmax+1$ columns (with $\lmax$ between 2500 and 4000 depending on the frequency of the detectors $X$ and $Y$). The extra contribution to the covariance of $C^{XY}_\ell$ is then \begin{align} \bfM^{XY, \mathrm{beam}} = 4 \left(\bfE^{XY}\right)^t . \bfE^{XY}, \end{align} where $\bfx^t$ is the transpose of $\bfx$.

Production process[edit]

The spectra computed up to ell=3508 using PolSpice (http://prof.planck.fr/article141.html, Szapudi, Prunet & Colombi (2001), 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 different steps of the calculation are

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

\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}_{\ell m} = \sum_p \Omega_p\ w(p)\, Y^*_{\ell m}(p);

\end{align} where the sum is done over all sky pixels $p$, and $\Omega_p$ is the pixel area;

  • the sky (cross or auto) pseudo-power spectrum and mask power spectrum are computed from the $a_{\ell m}$,

\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}_\ell =  \sum_{\ell m} \tilde{w}_{ m} \tilde{w}^*_{\ell m}   / (2 \ell + 1);

\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}_{\ell} P_\ell(\theta),

\end{align} where $P_\ell$ is the Legendre Polynomial of order $\ell$;

  • 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 $w_i$ are the weights of the Gauss-Legendre quadrature;

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

\begin{align}

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

\end{align}


The covariance matrix is computed by PolSpice using the formalism described in Efstathiou (2004), also sketched in the appendix of "CMB power spectra and likelihood paper"planck2013-p08, assuming the instrumental noise to be white and uniform.

The products described here, spectra $C(l)$ and covariances $M_{\ell \ell'}$ can be used to estimate the high-$\ell$ likelihood of a given theoretical model given the data available.

Inputs[edit]

Input data:

  • Mask:

All maps were analyzed on the fsky=42.8% of the sky defined by the apodized CL43 mask, which masks out Galactic and point sources contamination (see planck2013-p08). It is available as a FITS file under the name HFI_PowerSpect_Mask_2048_R1.10.fits

  • Maps

The input maps are the 13 HFI detector (set) maps available at 100, 143 and 217GHz. These 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

The beam window functions B(l), and their uncertainties, are the ones used in the high-ell likelihood analysis, described in section 6.1 "Error Eigenmodes" of planck2013-p08 and provided in the HFI RIMO.

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

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.

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.

Below an example of the header.
