Actions: Andrea implementing c) i) for PICO. After that we can decide if need gain variation.
Brendan: Ask thermal engineer at JPL to get estimates on thermal variations in the intrument? Is there also possibility of estimating polarized emission and IP from the optics?
~~Action Item [Joy]: how are the maps with systematics going to be evaluated?~~
- Shaul first wants effect to be evaluated on only CMB + noise, no lensing or foregrounds.
- Josquin could take in maps with systematics and run them through pipeline including foreground separation and estimate sigma_r
Action Item [Graca]: email Lloyd to ask about data challenge pipeline
Action Item [Brendan]: What is the scope of Brad’s work with GRASP?
~~Action Item [Joy]: Talk to Shaul and get readout / detector noise estimates for PICO~~
- Shaul agrees readout noise shouldn't dominate
- Brendan's email exchange with Roger seems enough to use 10 mHz estimate for f_knee
~~Action Item [Brendan]: Get estimate on polarization angle calibration from Planck~~
