Planck 70, 100, and 143 GHz CMB anisotropy power spectra computed
for the GAL060 mask. Mask- and beam-deconvolved cross-spectra of the half-ring maps
show the signal; auto-correlation spectra of the half-ring difference maps show the
noise. Points show single multipoles up to ℓ = 1200 for 70 GHz
and ℓ =
1700 for 100 and 143 GHz. Heavy solid lines show Δℓ = 20 boxcar
averages. The S/N near the first peak (ℓ = 220) is approximately 80, 1900, and 6000
for 70, 100, and 143 GHz, respectively. Noise power is calculated according to the
large-ℓ approximation, i.e., as a
distribution with mean
Cℓ and rms
Cℓ [
fsky(2ℓ + 1)/2 ] −
1/2. Pairs of thin lines mark ± 3σ bands of noise
power around the noise spectra. We translate this statistical spread of noise power
Cℓs into the
signal spectra estimated via half-ring map cross-spectra. Under the simplifying
assumption that each Cℓ of the noise
in the cross-spectrum at high-ℓ is distributed as a sum of (2ℓ + 1) products of
independent Gaussian deviates, each with variance
derived from the half-ring
difference maps, the Gaussianized high-ℓ noise in the cross-spectra has zero mean
and rms of
. Pairs of thin lines mark
± 1σ
bands of noise around the boxcar-averaged cross-spectra.
