Overview[edit]
Lensing map[edit]
Description[edit]
Here we present the minimum-variance (MV) lens reconstruction which forms the basis for the main results of P12_Lensing. This map is produced using a combination of the 143 and 217 GHz Planck maps on approximately 70% of the sky, and is the same map on which the Planck lensing likelihood is based.
We distribute:
- PHIBAR
- A (transfer-function convolved) map of the lensing potential, in NSIDE 2048 HEALPix RING format. It is obtained by convolving the lensing potential estimate $\hat{\phi}$ with the lensing response function $R_L^{\phi\phi}$. This map has been band-limited between multipoles $10 \le L \le 2048$.
- MASK
- This is a NSIDE = 2048 HEALPix map, containing the analysis mask used in the lens reconstruction. Note: the lensing map PHIBAR may take small but non-zero values inside the masked regions because it has been bandlimited.
- RLPP
- This column contains the response function $R_L^{\phi\phi}$.
- NLPP
- This column contains a sky-averaged estimate of the noise power spectrum of PHIBAR, $N_L^{\phi\phi}$. The noise is highly coloured. There is a weak dependence of the noise power spectrum with the local noise level of the map, discussed in Appendix A of P12_Lensing. Note that the noise power spectrum estimate here is not sufficiently accurate for a power spectrum analysis.
Production process[edit]
The construction PHIBAR, RLPP and NLPP are described in detail in Sec. 2.1 of P12_Lensing. The response function $R_L^{\phi\phi}$ here is analogous to the the beam transfer function in a CMB temperature or polarization map. We have chosen to distribute this transfer-function convolved map rather than the normalized lens reconstruction as it is a significantly more localized function of the CMB temperature map from which it is derived, and therefore more useful for cross-correlation studies.
Inputs[edit]
This product is built from the 143 and 217 GHz Planck sky maps.
File names and format[edit]
