QUIET 1st+2nd Season Galactic Field DataDownload Links:
The QUIET map and mask data are stored in standard HEALPix FITS format. The QUIET noise covariance matrices are stored in cut-sky format, including only unmasked (Stokes Q and U) pixels. The full matrix can this be represented as a 2x2 block matrix on the form N = (QQ, QU) (UQ, UU) Units are thermodynamic microkelvin2 Each matrix is stored in a standard HDF format, containing the following datasets:
The QUIET maps, QUIET+WMAP maps, and associated covariance matrices follow the CMB polarization convention. For general information on how to read HDF files, see |
