BEYONDPLANCK

Le résumé fourni par la source

We introduce a new formulation of theConviqtconvolution algorithm in terms of spin harmonics, and apply this to the problem of sidelobe correction for BEYONDPLANCK, the first end-to-end Bayesian Gibbs sampling framework for CMB analysis. We compare our implementation to the previousPlanckLevelS implementation, and find good agreement between the two codes in terms of accuracy, but with a speed-up reaching a factor of 3–10, depending on the frequency bandlimits,lmaxandmmax. The new algorithm is significantly simpler to implement and maintain, since all low-level calculations are handled through an external spherical harmonic transform library. We find that our mean sidelobe estimates forPlanckLFI are in good agreement with previous efforts. Additionally, we present novel sidelobe rms maps that quantify the uncertainty in the sidelobe corrections due to variations in the sky model.
