• Instrument parameters reconstruction: computes the R gain modulation factor for each detector and determine the noise parameters (knee frequency, slope of the 1/f noise component, white noise NET) for each detector, together with an estimate of the relative errors.

• Photometric Calibration: determines the calibration constant(s). Calibration is performed both on short timescales to monitor the instrument stability, and on long timescales to provide an accurate “absolute” calibration.

• Pointing and beam reconstruction: reconstructs the pointing of each detector given the Spacecraft pointing, and obtain maps of the main beam patterns for each feed-horn.

• Single channel and frequency map making: map making tools are used to produce single channel maps and final optimal combination maps.

Towards Phase I of End-to-end Tests

• Only temperature processing requested by Phase I definitions. However, we could make use of polarization simulated data too;

• the sky model is based on the “concordance model” CMB (no non-gaussianity);

• the dipole does not include sub-modulations due to Lissajous orbit around L2;

• the Galactic emission obtained assuming non-spatially varying index;

• non-idealities in the instrumental properties are not included: the detector model is “ideal” and does not vary with time;

• the scanning strategy (baseline Level S) is “ideal” (no gaps in the data); however, we were able to use realistic feed horn beam patterns, though the patterns are assumed constant within the bandwidth.

Tests platform (hardware, libraries, formats)

• SGS2 Pipeline installed on the Beowulf system OAT. Actual LFI DPC resources: 44 CPUs with a total of 38 GB of RAM and 2.2 TB of disk space. The DPC uses the PBS queueing system. We use the following queues:

planck: 18 node x 2 processors (18 Intel Pentium III)

fast: 4 node x 2 processors (4 Opteron Dual Core).

• Individual Pipeline units are Fortran 90 and C++ modules. Also used MPI parallel codes interface. External libraries included: FITSIO and FFTW .

• Inputs files for tests are FITS files; all the Pipeline procedures compatible with the LFI TOI DPC format and with the MPA-DMC fits implementation. The use of the MPA-DMC will be simply inserted just recompiling the SGS2 pipeline with the appropriate libraries. The LFI DPC is actually ingesting the data into the database.

DPC SGS-IR – ESTEC – 24-26 January 2007

Input data (simulations)LFI-demo simulated 12 months (8784 rings) time streams for the two horns of the 30 GHz channel (LF 27 and LFI 28), two radiometers each. All the simulations generated on the Beowulf system, at the OAT. The TODs are in FITS format (with nside nside=2048, 1’ resolution) and include:• the 30 GHz reference sky (noiseless CMB from WMAP data; galactic

emission from synch., free-free, dust, thermal SZ). The dipole components are added during the TODS production;

• bright point sources (radio + IR) and planets; (The radio sources are constrained simulations using WMAP data, and the NVSS, SUMMS and PMN surveys. IR basically from IRAS)

• two independent realizations of white noise; 1/f noise

Optics: Main beams have been computed with GRASP9, propagating the measured pattern of the feed horns #27 and #28 through the ideal telescope. The focal plane database file has been modified, according to the values obtained during the FM RCA test campaign.

NOTE: accuracy on the

reconstruction of R notfully representative of thatachievable during flight. Uncertainty in R dominated by the total 1/f noise in sky and load signals. This wasnot generated for this test.

Noise properties I

• After R determination, the pipeline creates differential data stream as V=Vsky–RVload.

A realization of 1/f residual noise TOI is added to V. The total time stream is given as input to noise_ps which produces the resulting noise power spectrum.

• From the noise power spectrum, Fitnoise_GT estimates the white noise limit, knee frequency f* and slope , as well as the relative errors.

• PS on 1 hr data, 24 hr data, and on the average of 24 hr data.

• 1 hr Spectra obtained by averaging over 24 cycles in a day.

Map makingMaps for the single channels, using the whole detectors data set. Two approaches have been used:

• Madam, based on the destriping technique + infos on the noise spectrum in the form of a noise filter. The low-frequency noise component is modelled as sequence of constant offsets or 'baselines‘ determined by maximum likelihood analysis. The baseline length is an adjustable input parameter. The baselines are subtracted from the TOD, and the remaining TOD is binned into a map.

• Roma, GLS map making code. ROMA maps are “optimal” (minimum variance; built taking into account exact pixel-pixel covariance)

Simulations:

• Signal = CMB+synchrotron+dust+free-free+faint point sources+ SZ• 12 months TODs for the four LFI 30 GHz detectors. Cycloidal scanning.• Asymmetric beams. • Perfect calibration, dipole removal and R factor.• All maps are Nside 512.

Map making- MADAM resultsThree destriping methods were used:A. 1 hour baselines, standard mode, noise filter OFFB. 1 min baselines, split-mode, noise filter OFFC. 1.2 sec baselines, split-mode, noise filter ON

In standard mode all data are processed simultaneously. In split-mode, data are

processed in pieces, 2 months at a time. The optimal map-making method (1.2

sec baselines, standard mode, noise filter ON) couldn’t run on the present

Beowulf configuration.

• Noise filter parameters:

f knee = 0.05 Hz; f min = 1.15e-5 Hz; slope = -1.7. White noise level is not needed.

• Madam makes no assumptions about beam shape. Output map includes smoothing by the beam.

• The code outputs the map in the units of the TOD.

Open areas

• We performed the tests for the 30 GHz LFI channels, from simulated TODs up to single channel and frequency maps. Same has to be done for the other channels.

• Test calibration sub-pipeline• Realistic estimate of R (total power 1/f noise included)• The extraction of the astrophysical and cosmological informations from

these outputs (the “Level 3” of Data Processing), requiring the separation of the CMB signal from foregrounds emission, is a high-priority target. Mostly important for Polarization.

• Perform tests with serial execution with the use of ProC+DMC with DB as back end

• e2e Tests should be completed by end of May 2007• Straylight effects (Phase II ?)
