  * MKD maps: JD clarifies that he has new MKD maps. Relative to the older version, which Clem used to make 90.98, the new maps have a new zero level for the T map (this affects the polarization maps), and the small scale structure is adjusted. If we do new maps, Clem will need to smooth with the beam and add noise. (See follow up e-mail below)
  * Ragnhild is running the new simulations with Commander 2. Commander 1 has a common beam to all frequency bands. Now each frequency has its own beam. 
  * MR: {{ :nilc_pico_20210527.pdf |shows results for 90.91 and 90.92}} for r=0.003 and r=0, 10 realizations. He shows results after removing high and low frequency bands for 90.92. **Now needs to do for 90.91. **
  * SH: will start a template on ApJ

Hi Shaul, Rgnhild, Mathieu,

I generated simulations of dust for PICO with the PSM version of the code, for the same model as was made available for the PanExperiment foreground group.
They are available here
https://apc.u-paris.fr/Downloads/Planck/PSM-Data/MKD-MODEL-PanExGal/skyinbands/

in the skyinbands/PICO_Freqs_CMB/ and skyinbands/PICO_Freqs_MJysr subfolders.

They are at all PICO central frequencies, with no beam, and nside=512.

Best,
Jacques
