A new method for estimating the power spectrum $C_l$ from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps was recently presented by the author and applied to the 2 year COBE data. It was found that the spectral resolution $\Delta l$ for COBE could…
A new method for estimating the angular power spectrum C_l from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps is presented, which has the following desirable properties: (1) It is unbeatable in the sense that no other method can measure C_l with…
We have developed a fast, accurate and generally applicable method for inferring the power spectrum and its uncertainties from maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in the presence of inhomogeneous and correlated noise. For maps…
The measurements of the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy has proved crucial to the emergence of cosmology as a precision science in recent years. In this remarkable data rich period, the limitations…
In recent years the goal of estimating different cosmological parameters precisely has set new challenges in the effort to accurately measure the angular power spectrum of CMB. This has required removal of foreground contamination as well…
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) power spectrum derived from the first year WMAP data demonstrates an intriguing lack of power at large scales that cannot be accounted for within the framework of the standard cosmological model. We…
Accurate measurements of angular power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation has lead to marked improvement in the estimates of different cosmological parameters. This has required removal of foreground contamination as…
We develop two methods for estimating the power spectrum, C_l, of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from data and apply them to the COBE/DMR and Saskatoon datasets. One method involves a direct evaluation of the likelihood function, and…
Estimation of the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) on a small patch of sky is usually plagued by serious spectral leakage, specially when the map has a hard edge. Even on a full sky map, point source masks can…
The angular power spectrum C_l is extracted from the 4 year COBE DMR data with a 20 degree galactic cut, using the narrowest window functions possible. The average power in eight multipole bands is also computed, and plotted together with a…
We compute the effects induced by the use of small CMB maps on the measurement of the $\cl{l}$ coefficients of the angular power spectrum and show that small systematic effects have to be taken into account. We also compute numerically the…
The remarkable improvement in the estimates of different cosmological parameters in recent years has been largely spearheaded by accurate measurements of the angular power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. This has…
CMB and lensing reconstruction power spectra are powerful probes of cosmology. However they are correlated, since the CMB power spectra are lensed and the lensing reconstruction is constructed using CMB multipoles. We perform a full…
We use an iterative generalized least squares map-making algorithm, in conjunction with Monte Carlo techniques, to obtain estimates of the angular power spectrum from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. This is achieved by…
Much attention has been given to the problem of estimating cosmological parameters from the $C_l$ measured by future experiments. Many of the approaches which are being used either invoke poorly controlled approximations or are…
The power spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing will be measured to sub-percent precision with upcoming surveys, enabling tight constraints on the sum of neutrino masses and other cosmological parameters. Measuring the…
Using a nonparametric function estimation methodology, we present a comparative analysis of the WMAP 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year data releases for the CMB angular power spectrum with respect to the following key questions: (a) How well is the…
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…
We measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum on angular scales l~30-200 (1-6 degrees) from the QMASK map, which combines the data from the QMAP and Saskatoon experiments. Since the accuracy of recent measurements leftward…
We have developed a fast method for predicting the angular power spectrum, C_l, of the cosmic microwave background given cosmological parameters and a primordial power spectrum of perturbations. After pre--computing the radiation…
