4Instrument and Observing Strategy
Please describe the following items, as well as
anything else we need to know to understand how
youre going to make polarization maps
- Optics
- band definitions
- polarization selection
- Polarization modulation
- Scan strategy
- Pointing reconstruction (accuracy)
5Systematics to consider
Below is a list of potential systematic effects.
Please address whatever effects you can from here
in your talk feel free to add more or
qualify/expand on these. Quantitative limits
(measured, calculated, or estimated) on these
effects would be helpful, as would results of
simulations with your observing strategy that
take them to a power spectrum.
Systematic Effect
Crosspolar beam E ? B
Polarization angle errors E ? B
Pointing errors (on Q/U) E ? B
Main beam asymmetry (before differencing) dT ? B
