Specially processed maps
Lensing map[edit]
The fiducial Planck lensing potential map is made from a minimum variance combination of the 143 and 217GHz Planck maps on approximately 70% of the sky, using 857GHz as a dust template. This is the same lens reconstruction on which the Planck lensing likelihood is based. It is distributed in FITS format. The headers of this file are copied at the bottom of this page.
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 $R_L^{\phi\phi}$. The construction of these quantities are described in detail in Sec. 2.1 of $\fixme{P12_Lensing}$. This map has been band-limited between multipoles $10 \le L \le 2048$. 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. This is discussed further in Appendix A of P12_Lensing.
- MASK
- This is a NSIDE 2048 HEALPix RING format map, containing the analysis mask used in the lens reconstruction.
- 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. The noise is highly coloured. Note that there is some dependence of the noise power spectrum with the local noise level of the map. Note that the noise power spectrum estimate here is not sufficiently accurate for a power spectrum analysis.
