Fig. 17.
Cumulative density-function of the mean amplitude of all extrema, maxima (red) and minima (blue), derived from simulations, compared to the equivalent values observed for the SMICA temperature T (left) and the reconstructed E-mode polarization (right). Upper panel: peak mean amplitudes for maps filtered with a GAUSS kernel of 120′ FWHM. Lower panel: corresponding peak CDF for the same kernel of 600′ FWHM. Similar results are obtained for the other component separation methods. The amplitude values are shown in arbitrary (dimensionless) units determined by map pre-whitening.
