Band powers
and uncertainties based on the 5-arcmin data. The first column gives the
mean l for each band; the second column gives the band power in that band,
<l(l+1)C_l/(2pi)>_band in uK^2; the third column gives the uncertainty
in the band power estimate, obtained from the diagonal elements of the
inverse of the fisher matrix.
IMPORTANT NOTE: this file contains unorthogonalized band powers, unlike
Table 2 of Hanany et al 2001. These are related by a simple linear transformation
based on the fisher matrix (see below) as explained, for example, in Bond,
R., Jaffe, A. H., and Knox, L., 1998, Phys. Rev. D 57, 2117.
The fisher
(inverse covariance) matrix for the above band powers. This is a 10x10
symmetric matrix stored "flattened" (column or row major) format.
The units are 1/uK^2. See, e.g., Bond, R., Jaffe, A. H., and Knox, L.,
1998, Phys. Rev. D 57, 2117.
Parameters
needed for the offset lognormal ansatz for the likelihood; see Bond, R.,
Jaffe, A. H., and Knox, L., 2000, ApJ 533, 19. For each bin, the file
gives x_bin in uK^2.
The list of
l bins used in calculating the band powers. This file is in the format
required for the MADCAP software package.
Fractional
uncertainty in the power in each bin due to the uncertainty in the beam
measurement, see Wu, J.H.P. et al., 2001, ApJS, 132, 1. For each band,
the columns are the + and -1 sigma fractional errors, respectively.
