NEW: Power spectrum estimates of the different teams

You will find the PS estimates from the output CMB maps of the different teams. The black line is the estimated power spectrum, the green line the reference (input) map power spectrum, and in red, for those who provided it, the estimated errors on power spectrum.

NEW: Predicted versus measured effective beams

You will find a series of plots comparing the effective beams prediction of the output cmb maps compared to the measured effective beam obtained by cross-correlating the ouput map with the template.

NEW: Predicted versus measured rms of errors

You will find the predicted rms of errors, as compared to the estimated rms of the corresponding pixels in the residual map.

General comparison plots

You can find here the different power spectra of the difference of output cmb maps of the different groups to the input cmb map. In order to take into account the heterogeneity of the results of the different groups, several cases are presented:

1. spectra of output maps minus initial (unsmoothed) cmb template

2. spectra of output maps minus smoothed cmb template

3. same as case 1, with IFCA design mask

4. same as case 2, with IFCA design mask

Difference maps plots for each team

The difference maps are made to the original (unsmoothed) cmb template, as well as to the smoothed cmb template. They all have the same color scheme.

Idl routines used to make these plots

• compare.pro makes the difference maps and their spectra
• plotmaps.pro makes png images of the difference maps
• plotspectra.pro makes postscript plots of the difference maps spectra
• plotestim.pro makes postscript plots of the estimated power spectra of output cmb maps
• plotmapstat.pro computes the estimated rms of pixel groups in the difference maps, as compared to the predicted rms spatial distribution
