高分辨率CMB映射的有效功率谱估计

Efficient Power Spectrum Estimation for High Resolution CMB Maps

Sudeep Das, Amir Hajian, David N. Spergel

摘要:

在小块天空上进行宇宙微波背景(CMB)角功率谱估计时,通常会遇到严重的谱泄漏问题,特别是当图像具有硬边缘时。即使在全天空地图上,点源掩模也可以将大尺度的功率混淆到小尺度,从而在高多极子处产生过多的方差。我们描述了一种新的快速,简单和本地的方法估计功率谱的小补丁的天空,最大限度地减少频谱泄漏和减少方差的频谱估计。例如,当与标准的均匀采样方法相比,在8度X 8度的天空中,由于点源掩盖了2%的区域,我们的估计在l=2000时误差线减半,在l=3500时误差线减少了四倍以上。因此,一个正确分析的实验在l=3500处的误差条相当于用现在的标准技术分析的实验的误差条,积分时间约为16-25倍。

英文摘要:

Estimation of the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) on a small patch of sky is usually plagued by serious spectral leakage, specially when the map has a hard edge. Even on a full sky map, point source masks can alias power from large scales to small scales producing excess variance at high multipoles. We describe a new fast, simple and local method for estimation of power spectra on small patches of the sky that minimizes spectral leakage and reduces the variance of the spectral estimate. For example, when compared with the standard uniform sampling approach on a 8 degree X 8 degree patch of the sky with 2% area masked due to point sources, our estimator halves the errorbars at l=2000 and achieves a more than fourfold reduction in errorbars at l=3500. Thus, a properly analyzed experiment will have errorbars at l=3500 equivalent to those of an experiment analyzed with the now standard technique with ~ 16-25 times the integration time.
