Telecon Notes January 21 2021

Attendance: Mathieu, Ragnhild, Shaul, Jacques
Regrets:

Agenda:

• Updates
• Paper Outline not available

Notes: Shaul

• NILC: No new updates. The plan is to run the analysis with 90.91 and 90.92 with restricted frequency coverage.
  • SH suggests to first run without two lower bands, then separately without two upper bands, to test effects of Synch and Dust separately. If we do 43 - 460 GHz together, we would still want to separate the effects. Also, this shouldn't be a contrast with LB.
  • Another topic: for r=0.003, look at the results for 3-4 small sections of the sky. MR says this is doable and probably useful.
  • But for small sections of the sky we will run into E/B mode mixing. Need to reach out to Clem and figure out the algorithm they used for BICEP.

• Commander: Ragnhild's update (.pdf)
