Executing the script:

Overview:

  • Optimally combines data from different bands using noise + foreground signals in different bands.
    • Supports standard / constrained / partial internal linear combinations.
  • Combines delensed CMB spectra and lensing spectra to forecast cosmological parameter constraints using Fisher formalism.
    • Delensing reference: Green, Meyers, van Engelen 2016, arXiv: 1609.08143.
    • Fisher code repo (yet to be integrated into this repo).
  • Estimates biases in cosmological parameters due to residual foregrounds also using Fisher formalism.
    • References: Huterer & Takada 2004, arXiv: 0412142; Loverde, Hui, & Gaztanaga 2006, arXiv: 0611539; Amara & Réfrégier 2007, arXiv: 0710.5171.

Foreground modelling:

  • Extragalactic foregrounds: Radio, CIB, tSZ and kSZ power spectra from SPT measurements (George et al. 2015, arXiv: 1408.3161 and Reichardt et al. 2020, arXiv: 2002.06197).
    • Assumed polarisation fractions: CIB = 2%; Radio = 3%; tSZ/kSZ = 0. But these are configurable. Look into params.ini.
  • Galactic foregrounds: Dust and Synchrotron power spectra obtained from pySM3 simulations.
