Regrets:

• Commander - Low \ell likelihood
  • (.png)
  • (.png)
  • Matthew show two simulations (above) one for r=0 and another for r=0.003, comparing the Gaussian likelihood to the correct low-ell approximation. The likelihood is only calculated for \ell 2-12; full sky, no masking or sky fraction. Not delensed. For next week: extend \ell range to \ell=200, and masked sky.
• NILC - small patch analysis
  • (.png)
  • Jacques produced patches for MR. Code sent. MR will compute r in each patch.
• Delensing - include material in paper
  • r likelihood with real delensing noise (.pdf)
  • MR took the real delensing noise and injected it into his r-estimate for r=0 and finds an essentially identical result. Julien suggest doing the same with r=0.003, but MR argues we should again be reproducing his calculations.
