Suborbital Experiments Images

MAXIMA

	Unfiltered Map The map is made using data from three 150GHz photometers and one 240GHz photometer and contains 15,000 5' by 5' pixels.	PNG (35kb - 1000x1154 pixels)
	Smoothed Wiener-filtered Map Pixel boundaries have been smoothed using interpolation and the data plotted at 10' resolution.	PNG (179kb - 1000x1154 pixels)
	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.	JPG (184kb - 566x1876 pixels)

QMASK

	Wiener-filtered Map Wiener-filtered QMASK map combining the QMAP and Saskatoon experiments.	PNG (24kb - 458x527 pixels)
	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.	PNG (91kb - 590x762 pixels)
