Introduction[edit]

There are no single detector maps in the first release.

This section will serve for later releases.


Maps for single detectors are built for full or part of the mission and are used primarily for characterization purposes: while the ones built with an unpolarized detector have a scientific value, the ones built using a polarization sensitive one have little, since, among other things, the polarization angle varies around the sky. Each signal map will be accompanied by a hit map and a variance map. All maps are in Healpix format, with Nside of 2048 for HFI and of 1024 for LFI, in Galactic coordinates, and Nested ordering. The three maps will be packaged into a FITS files with a single BINTABLE extension containing a table of three columns; the structure of the FITS file is given in the FITS file structure section below.

The FITS filenames are of the form {H|L}FI_{detname}_nnnn_yyyymmdd_{type}_{mission}.fits, where detname is a detector identifier, and nnnn is the Healpix Nside of the map, the optional type indicates the subset of input data used, and mission indicates the coverage period, i.e., full, nominal, or survey_n (TBC; an alternative of the type {H|L}FI_detname_{type}_{mission}_Rn.mm.fits is being considered, where Rn.mm is the release number). A full list of products, by their names, is given in the List of products below. These

FITS file structure[edit]

The FITS file structure is like that of Intensity-only frequency maps as described in the next section

Header keywords[edit]

A typical header for the extension is
