Comparison of and bias factors Bc/r with simulated results from linear estimator measurements for 100 simulated maps with 106 sources (for the full sky) and an observer velocity of v = 1200 km s−1 towards φ = 180 deg and , the source count of the simulated sources behaves as per n(> S) ∝ Sx with x = 1 and the spectral index of the sources is α = 0.75.

Mask type Bc/r
Caps 1.19 3.75 ± 0.12 3.14 ± 0.11 3.13
Ring 1.19 0.28 ± 0.01 0.23 ± 0.01 0.23
Caps 5.67 17.84 ± 2.12 3.15 ± 0.38 3.13
Ring 5.67 1.38 ± 0.07 0.24 ± 0.01 0.23

Notes. Masking sources within −40 deg < δ < +40 deg for the ring type mask and with either δ > 40 deg or δ < −40 deg for the caps type mask.
