• Precession Period (Kris, Jacques)
  • 10 hour precession period:
  • 48 hour precession period:
  • More Slides
• Noise/Bands Figure
• Noise Requirements vs Best Case Estimate (BCE)
  • Proposal: Req = BCE*rt(2)/0.9, independent of frequency
  • rt(2) because “Planck achieved noise within ~20% of BCE” (to be checked)
  • 0.9 because the cost models assume 90% yield
  • first factor is applied on individual detectors, second factor on the array.
