Telecon Notes, March 8, 2018

Notes

  • Update from Brandon:
    • Julian said he/PySM will repixelate to Nside=16, which is needed by Mattieu et al. Matthieu/Shaul to catch up with Julian.
    • New MHD maps are uploaded. They are have a somewhat more correct ratio of E/B.
  • Belen not on telecon. No report on her side.
  • Matthieu reports on his PICO work with PSM
    • sigma® = 4e-4 with no delensing and 50% of sky
    • add foregrounds that have no decor relation and no synchrotron curvature, still sigma® = 4e-4
    • Shows various results with the conclusion that the two lowest frequencies appear to not be necessary. Removing them doesn't degrade sigma® and doesn't add bias to r.
    • Removing the high frequency bands does affect the results.
    • Clem suggests not fitting for Td in every pixel, but keeping it constant. What happens then?
