MAP: Microwave Anisotropy Probe (CMB)

Expectations for noise performance.

  • Composite expectations -LP Jan 15

    • Still needs to be checked against the analytic. The boxes and curves are for 1/2 yr, 2 yrs and 4 yrs. The smooth curve is the error per l in C_l. Note that the improvement is linear in time for C_l. Janet's windows have been included in this as have Gary's sensitivity numbers for Jan 15, 2002.
