Reproduce PySM 2 Synchrotron model s1 #71

Closed zonca closed 3 years ago

Implementation of the PySM 2 Synchrotron model, we could easily extend this to a higher N_side

there is a significant difference, I get a steeper EE and a flatter BB

I'm not sure that the fitting process being done here directly replicates what we did in the paper. We also "fitted" for the white noise amplitude by considering the larger range of multipoles above $\ell_\ast$, and below multipoles of 10. I think if you tried to account for the noise bias, the BB will steepen significantly. As for the EE, I think accounting for sample variance will reduce the significance of the steeper low-ell modes and bring it down.

I skipped the step where you fit for $\ell_*$ and just used the value from the paper.

would you be able to provide an example on how I should implement this? or provide an improved version of this notebook?
