Debugging gaussian scales for GNILC dust #74

Closed giuspugl closed 3 years ago

giuspugl commented 3 years ago

I 've identified several issues in https://github.com/healpy/pysm/pull/72 that can lead into errors in the estimates.

I am using exactly the same routines and the same inputs used in https://github.com/healpy/pysm/pull/72 to further debug the procedure, the main difference is that i perform the estimates on GAL060 mask, instead of GAL080 ( in https://github.com/healpy/pysm/pull/72 )

Think a source of error can be related to the monopole subtraction :

Monopole subtraction

Estimate the monopole term from the map outside the galactic mask to have a rough estimate of the CIB monopole . However, I don't perform the monopole subtraction before injecting small scales but once the maps with Large and small scales are coadded together .

In fact, I noticed that:

Estimating the monopole at high Gal. latitudes (excluding the Gal. plane) leads to ~0.16 MJy/srad , which is very closed to the value reported by Section 2.2 of Planck 2018 XII value reported: 0.13 MJy/sr .

GNILC dust maps

I combined the I dust map from 2nd Planck release as it has been optimized to better remove CIB. As QU maps i 've used the maps from 3rd Planck release .

We then transform the maps to Pol.tens. formalism. I then estimated spectral indices for the fit performing the fit in several ell ranges.

Smaller Scales injection

Smaller scales are injected similarly as in #72 and we see the combined map shows good match .

Jacques suggested to use the apodized mask, I was using the 2 degrees mask from planck in the last version of my notebook https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/zonca/b398f85f701088ba60e3e66a20e0f48f.

Unless we are reason to believe the non apodized mask is better.

Ok will do that, though not expecting large differences from this .
