14. Model Independent Approaches to Foreground Cleaning

15. WMAP: Cleaning in Pixel Space T ( p ) = P 5 i = 1 w i T i ( p ) P 5 i = 1 w i = 1 WMAP cleaning is done in the following way : (1)Smooth each map with 1 0 beam resolution. (2)Divide the sky in 12 disjoint regions. (3)Internally combine all the channels such that: And e.g :- For the region outside the inner Galactic plane, the weights are w i =0.109, -0.684, -0.096, 1.921 and -0.250 for K, Ka, Q, V and W band respectively Add Cl comparison From ILC Reorder empasise (3) nonumber

16. Improvement to this Method This method can be improved by taking the assumption that the weights depend also on the angular scale (as well as galactic latitude). As, the foregrounds dominates at large angular scale whereas the detector noise dominates at small angular scale, so in angular scale weights are very useful. Also, the angular scales resolved is not limited by lowest resolution channel but with high resolution channel.

17. Methodology reword

18. CMB contributes equally in all 9 channels in terms of thermodynamic temperature. It is assumed that foregrounds forms a positive covariance matrix. As variance differs drastically between clean and dirty regions. So, we divide the sky into a set of regions of increasing cleanliness.

34. Simulated Noise Maps Planck noise level after 14 months of its survey:

35. First we try out the method using only a very small subset of the numerous combinations allowed by the Planck mission. This is just to test that how this method works and how well we can recover the input power spectrum. The combinations for the test case is shown below: Test Case Low frequency channel High frequency channel

36. Auto Power Spectrum of 20 Maps Cross Power Spectrum of 12 Maps

37. Final C l comparison

38. Conclusion from test case From this, we know that auto-correlated maps shows some excess power at large l. But this can be removed by using the cross-correlation of two maps which has no channels common and has statistically independent noise. Hence, cross-correlation works better than auto correlation. In this case there remains some residual along the center of galactic latitude which are supposed to affect large l values. For l < 1000, this is not affecting our result. But for more accurate estimation and for large l value, we have to mask it out with Kp2 mask and estimate the full sky power spectrum from cut sky power spectrum. Also, we have to correct it for low l bias coming from the no. of channels combined. To remove this bias, we make many realizations of same sky and final C l is corrected.

39. We first divide the Planck frequencies in the group of 4 and perform the following steps:- The full sky is subdivided into 6 sky parts according to the level of contamination in 4 maps. We then repeat the following cleaning procedure six times, once corresponding to each region j = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Obtain the power spectrum matrix of the i th region and obtain the weight factors W l. Get the spherical harmonics of four maps and out of compute the all sky clean map using the weights obtained above. Replace the i th region with the corresponding clean region. And before replacement it is smoothed by the resolution of the last input map. At the end of 6 iterations, we get the clean map of CMB. The above steps are repeated to get the clean map out of 4 channels corresponding to the high frequency end.

40. Partitioning the Sky Take the beam out of each 4 frequency channel (30 GHz, 44GHz, 70GHz, 100GHz). Make the 3 difference maps out of 4 frequency channel (44-30GHz, 70- 44GHz, 100-70GHz). Now form the junk map out of three difference maps by comparing pixel wise absolute maximum value and each pixel is assigned a maximum value among the corresponding pixels of three difference assemblies. Downgrade the junk map to N side =64 by using the HEALPIX subroutine udgrade. Then we divide the sky in 6 different regions in almost logarithm scale with 0 T<0.03mK, 0.03 T<0.1mK, 0.1 T<0.3mK, 0.3 T<1mK, 1 T<3mK and T 3. The resulting 6 partitions is then converted back to N side =512 using HEALPIX subroutine udgrade and then smooth with Gaussian beam of FWHM of 2 degree. Apply and cutoff at 0.25 and write a small code that check that each pixel is not there in two partitions. Now the 6 partitions are ready for the remaining analysis.

48. Power Spectrum Estimation

49. Different Schemes for Optimal Power Spectrum Planck has a large number of frequency channel each with a significant number of independent channels. This allows us to envisage many different schemes for implementing the method. There is a compromise of two basic considerations in devising a optimal scheme: When there are a large number of independent channels at a given frequency, the noise in the channel map are reduced if co add maps into a smaller subset of independent maps. This would reduce the role of noise in determining the weights for the obtaining cleaned maps. This also reduces the noise level in each of the cleaned maps. However, merging channels reduces the number of independent cross- power spectra available to estimate the final power spectrum. Although cross correlating removes the noise bias, noise in cleaned maps for a cross spectra does feed into the variance. Larger the number of independent cross-spectra, smaller will be the variance. We are hunting for the best scheme to get the power spectrum.

50. Scheme:1 Possible Independent Combination is 1x1x3x2=6

51. Possible Independent Combination is 2x3x3x3=54 High Frequency Combinations Cross correlate each low frequency channel with the high frequency one. Then we get 6x54=324 cross-correlate maps.

52. Result of Scheme I

53. Scheme:II Low frequency combinationHigh frequency combination Possible Independent Combination is 2x2x3x2=24 Possible Independent Combination is 2x3x3x3=54 Possible Independent Cross- correlates Combined Maps is 12x1x2x1=24 Possible Independent Cross- correlates Combined Maps is 27x2x2x2=216 Specialty : Two set of C l Quite feasible No. of total Ch. 4 6 12 8 No. of total Ch. 8 12 12 12

54. Scheme:III Get 2 set of C l. The merging of more no. of differential assemblies results in increase in variance at large l due to lower number of cross correlation. Low frequency combinationHigh frequency combination Possible Independent Combination is 2x2x2x2=16 Possible Independent Cross- correlates Combined Maps is 8x1x1x1=8 Expected not good result out of it

55. Scheme:IV Possible Independent Combination is 2x2x4x2=32 Possible Independent Combination is 2x4x4x4=128 Low frequency combinationHigh frequency combination Possible Independent Cross- correlates Combined Maps is 16x1x3x1=48 Possible Independent Cross- correlates Combined Maps is 64x3x3x3=1728 Quite Feasible

56. Scheme:V There are huge no. of combination are possible for this case. In this case, the variance will gone down but in the cost of huge computational time and huge memory. So, this type of combination is also not computationally favorable. As, the size of each clean map is 12.5 Mb. So, the total space required for this cleaning is 12.5x13824 = 173 Gb for one realization. Say for 100 realization, we need 173Gbx100 = 2 Tb. For one clean map to made computer takes 10 minutes in Iucaa Cluster. Hence, for generating 13824 clean maps it will take 10x13824= 96 days on a single processor. Low frequency combinationHigh frequency combination Possible Independent Combination is 4x6x12x8=2304 Possible Independent Combination is 8x12x12x12=13824 Quite Tough

57. Discussion The final goal would be select the most optimal one scheme based on simulation. By choosing each differential assemblies as independent, we get large number of independent cross spectra. Large no. of cross spectra means it reduces the variance. But it is computationally challenging. On the other hand, as the noise level in different frequency channels are different, hence it may make more sense to combine them in larger chunks (proportional to their noise level). However, co adding channels reduces the number of independent cross-power spectra available to estimate the final power spectrum. In this project, we worked with full sky. We didn't mask out any portion of the sky because we found that it is not important for l < 1000. But as Planck will measure up to l max ~ 4000. For that case we have to calculate actual full sky C l from the cut sky C l.

58. Conclusion In this project, using simulated data from the Planck mission we establish that the model independent method of foreground cleaning gives the estimation of angular power spectrum solely based upon the Planck data. The wider frequency coverage of the Planck mission and the larger number of independent detector channels with lower noise markedly improves the potential of this method compared to WMAP. Moreover, the larger choice of channels combinations allow for many different implementation schemes for the basic method. Within the time limitations of project (and computational resources), here we have explored only one of the schemes.

60. Motivation

61. For generation of foreground templates at Planck frequencies, we use Planck reference sky model (PSM), prepared by the members of Working Group 2 of the Planck Science collaboration. It generates the different foreground components like synchrotron emission, free-free emission and dust emission at Planck frequencies. The input CMB Map is generated by using a software HEALPix (Hierarchical Equal Area and iso-Latitude Pixelization) from the realization of best fit L -CDM model and add pixel by pixel foreground component, correct beam and the noise, where M is the map at given frequency, n is the noise in temperature, B is the FWHM of the beam. M = B ( T cm b + T sync h ro t ron + T d us t + T f ree ¡ f ree ) + n

62. To estimate the angular power spectrum out of 20 clean maps, we adopted the following steps:- As the clean maps are smoothed with the highest frequency beam of the 4 channel combination. To get rid of the beam effect, basically a lm is to be divided by the beam B l of the highest beam. The second step is to divide the final a lm obtained in the above steps with the pixel window. In the software HEALPix, it always require convolve the map with the pixel window P l of that resolution. So, basically combining the above two steps we have to divide the a lm by B l x P l. This will remove both the effects. To get the mean power spectrum, we can average all the 20 maps and compare with the input power spectrum. But due to noise which dominates at large l, we get excess power remains at large multipoles from the auto- correlation of the maps. To get rid of noise bias, we cross correlate cleaned maps that do not have a common detector channel and have statistically independent noise. This way of cross correlation removes the residual noise. In other words, it remove the excess power at large l arising from the noise bias. Power spectrum estimation
