0306-BICEP setup

BRAINSTORM

inpainting for what?

• reconstruct the CMB to estimate the powerspectrum

• remove non-Gaussion element on the map

point source removal importance

different sky fraction has different foreground, maybe our sky is more contaminated, so the bias caused by point source might be large.

advantage versus inpainting?

robust, more easy to realize,

BICEP setup [ CMB ]

Beamwidths for the three frequencies in the BK15 dataset are roughly 0.305° (43′ FWHM, 95 GHz), 0.210° (30′ FWHM, 150 GHz), and 0.141° (20′ FWHM, 220 GHz).
