MAXIMA

Maxima_map Unfiltered Map
The map is made using data from three 150GHz photometers and one 240GHz photometer and contains 15,000 5' by 5' pixels.

rmap_map Smoothed Wiener-filtered Map
Pixel boundaries have been smoothed using interpolation and the data plotted at 10' resolution.

rmap_map Comparison with WMAP
Comparison of the MAXIMA (far left) and WMAP 93 GHz (second from left) maps. The third image shows the difference and the fourth shows the sum of the two maps.

QMASK

Qmask_map Wiener-filtered Map
Wiener-filtered QMASK map combining the QMAP and Saskatoon experiments.
 PNG (24kb - 458x527 pixels)
Qmask_map Comparison with WMAP
Comparison of the QMASK (left) and WMAP (right) maps, both Wiener filtered with the same weighting (determined by the QMASK noise covariance matrix). The slightly larger fluctuation level seen in the left image gives a visual indication of the effect of QMASK noise.
