=== Notes (Shaul) === \\

  * Ragnhild on vacation
  * {{ :nilc_pico_20210715.pdf | MR is now reporting results for model 98!}}. 
    * There are foreground residuals that are significant relative to 5e-4, see pages 15 and 18 in the pdf.
    * There is strong sensitivity to the higher frequency bands, see page 32. 
    * **SH: how is S4 doing with this model**
    * MR: Need to check the maps and the mask being used. Perhaps can optimize the mask, but smaller patches will lead to higher noise. Worth trying. 
    * Is the model even consistent with current constraints on the sky? 
    * Question: slide 15, why is there a break in the noise at \ell= 700
    * Note: **MR had done r=0.003 only on models 91,92 so far**
  * Kris: ** needs to extrapolate to higher frequency bands **. He is incorporating spectral index map.
