The primary results of most observations of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy are estimates of the angular power spectrum averaged through some broad band, called band-powers. These estimates are in turn what are used to produce…
Using the published WMAP 5-year data, we first show how sensitive the WMAP power spectra are to the form of the WMAP beam. It is well known that the beam profile derived from observations of Jupiter is non-Gaussian and indeed extends, in…

The widely used MASTER approach for angular power spectrum estimation was developed as a fast $C_{\ell}$ estimator on limited regions of the sky. This method expresses the power spectrum of a masked map ("pseudo-$C_\ell$") in terms of the…
Conventional estimators of the anisotropic power spectrum and two-point correlation function (2PCF) adopt the `Yamamoto approximation', fixing the line-of-sight of a pair of galaxies to that of just one of its members. Whilst this is…
