Kolmogorov–Smirnov deviation of the peak distribution for the SMICA temperature T (left) and the reconstructed E-mode polarization (right) maps in 70° radius discs centred on the positive and negative asymmetry directions as determined by the SMICATT,  TE,  EE QML estimator in Sect. 7.2. Top panels: maps filtered with GAUSS kernels of 120′ and bottom panels: filtering with 600′ FWHM.
