Attendance: Shaul, Ragnhild, Jacques, Charles, Julien, Alex, Colin
Regrets:

Agenda:

  1. Commander update
  2. Paper Tasks

=== Notes (Shaul) ===

  • Commander:
    • Unni has produced maps with nside=512 for 90.91, r=0 and r=0.003, 10 simulations for each. She is now doing 90.92.
    • Ragnhild is analyzing 90.91. It takes time to run the code because of the higher resolution.
  • Paper:
    • Jacques volunteers to contribute to the introduction
    • Ragnhild began describing the models. She will write also the part about the map simulations.
    • Jacques will write about model98
    • Clem will write about making the maps
    • Request to make a clear distinction between 'Foreground Models' and 'Sky Maps'
      • Clem will write the 'Foreground Models' at least for those that match S4 and the 'Sky Maps'.
    • NILC and Commander techniques - cite other sources heavily. No need to repeat material described elsewhere
    • Colin ran a harmonic space ILC calculation. Gave noise value post calculation to Alex who ran an iterative delensing code.
    • Deproj0 - Standard ILC, no constraints
    • Deproj1 - ILC constrained to suppress a dust SED
    • Deproj2 - ILC constrained to suppress synchrotron SED
    • Deproj3 - ILC constrained to suppress both
    • Note: everything done in harmonic space. So no spatial information about dust or synchrotron distribution
    • Discussion ensues with MR about what level of delensing he should use.
