Foregrounds & Data Challenges

The focus of this group is to demonstrate the ability of PICO to meet its various science goals by setting up and analyzing data challenges that include representative galactic and extra-galactic foreground models.

• Weekly on Thursday at 10 am Central time, or as announced.
