| CMB map making using Maximum Entropy Methods (2007) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| this paper, however, we investigate the use of a non-linear maximum entropy method (MEM) for separating out the emission due to different physical components and compare its performance with the Wiener filter approach. We apply these methods to simulated observations from the Planck surveyor satellite but, of course, the same algorithms can be used to analyse data from the MAP satellite. The application of the MEM technique to simulated interferometer observations of the CMBR is discussed in Maisinger, Hobson & Lasenby (1997) and the method has also been applied to the analysis of ground-based switched-beam observations by Jones et al. (1998). 2 Component separation methods | |||||||||||||
