Fig. 17

Upper: Wiener-filtered SMICA CMB sky (temperature range ±400 μK). Middle: derived quadrupole (temperature range ±35 μK). Lower: derived octopole (temperature range ±35 μK). The plus and star symbols indicate the axes of the quadrupole and octopole, respectively, around which the angular momentum dispersion is maximized. The diamond symbols correspond to the quadrupole axes after correction for the kinematic quadrupole.
