Data Receipt
-
Instrument Performance Monitoring
-
Data Quality Checking
-
Merge data streams - e.g. raw data, time stamp,
pointing, instrument state, orbital location, etc.
-
Calibrated Time Ordered Data
-
calibration
-
tag/remove of non-science data, bad & corrupt data - for HFI this includes
cosmic ray removal
-
determine, characterized, and remove instrument signatures
-
filtering/baseline removal
-
Generate Ancillary Data Sets
-
calibration history and parameters files - absolute and relative
-
beam parameters - G(\theta), W(\theta)
-
pointing offsets
-
noise properties of data - e.g. power spectrum, correlation function
-
delays, time constants, frequency response of detectors
-
...
-
Map Generation
-
determine number of maps and coordinate systems to use & memory, data
storage sizes and number of megaflops
-
pixelization software - valid for various schemes
-
minimum size packing of data stream & noise characterization for map
making input
-
staging data into map making system
-
generate partial and full maps and error covariance matrix
-
verification and validation of map making products
-
separation of signals, e.g. CMB, foregrounds, etc.
-
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Power Spectrum
-
Test Cosmological Models and assumptions, e.g.
Gaussian versus non-Gaussian, goodness of fit, ...
-
Cosmological Parameter Estimation
-
CMB Polarization Analysis
