Telecon Notes March 18, 2021

Link to main foregrounds telecons page
Link to logbook

Attendance: Ragnhild, Mathieu, Shaul, Clem
Regrets:

Agenda:

  • Updates

Notes: Shaul

Updates

  • Ragnhild shows work done with Unni's simulations, and model 90.91
    • The r likelihood (pgs. 6,7) shows a detection of r, for r=0. Why? And why is the likelihood so narrow?
    • MR: can you show the foreground residuals? Are you fixing A_{lens} or are you fitting for A_{lens}?
    • For r=0.003, reconstruction of r works well.
    • Chi^2 (not reduced) is shown in page 11.
    • Question: should we proceed with Unni's simulations?
  • Clem describes his iterations with HK (and there's more follow up in e-mail after the telecon)
    • Decision: he will go to l_max = 4*nside
  • Discussion about PICO's noise model. Currently it is effectively white. Is that realistic? Shaul will check.
