在存在噪声和前景的情况下预测大尺度的B模式检测

Forecast B-modes detection at large scales in presence of noise and foregrounds

A. Bonaldi, S. Ricciardi

摘要:

我们调查的原始CMB偏振B-模式功率谱在大尺度上的仪器噪声和现实的前景污染的存在下的可探测性。我们已经制定了一种方法来估计的分量分离的误差,并将它们传播到功率谱估计。我们的方法的性能说明将其应用到仪器规格的普朗克卫星和下一代CMB偏振实验COrE的建议配置。我们证明,为了实现大尺度上的B模式的检测,需要适当的分量分离步骤,并且给定实验的对B模式的最终灵敏度由噪声水平和残余前景之间的微妙平衡确定,这取决于CMB重建中利用的频率集,每个频率图的信噪比,以及我们正确模拟前景成分的光谱行为的能力。我们开发了一个灵活的软件工具,可以比较不同仪器规格(频率选择、每个频率的噪声水平等)的B模式检测性能。以及所提出的不同的组分分离方法。

英文摘要:

We investigate the detectability of the primordial CMB polarization B-mode power spectrum on large scales in the presence of instrumental noise and realistic foreground contamination. We have worked out a method to estimate the errors on component separation and to propagate them up to the power spectrum estimation. The performances of our method are illustrated by applying it to the instrumental specifications of the Planck satellite and to the proposed configuration for the next generation CMB polarization experiment COrE. We demonstrate that a proper component separation step is required in order achieve the detection of B-modes on large scales and that the final sensitivity to B-modes of a given experiment is determined by a delicate balance between noise level and residual foregrounds, which depend on the set of frequencies exploited in the CMB reconstruction, on the signal-to-noise of each frequency map, and on our ability to correctly model the spectral behavior of the foreground components. We have produced a flexible software tool that allows the comparison of performances on B-mode detection of different instrumental specifications (choice of frequencies, noise level at each frequency, etc.) as well as of different proposed approaches to component separation.
