pS 2HAT   // "pure S2HAT" //   -   S 2HAT-based pure E/B harmonic transforms| Relevant links | Home | Features & functionalityThe routines allow efficient, parallel calculation of the so-called 'pure' polarized multipoles (see Smith (2006)). The computed multipole coefficients are equal to the standard pseudo-multipoles calculated for the apodized sky maps of the Stokes parameters Q and U subsequently corrected by so-called counterterms. If the applied apodizations fullfill certain boundary conditions, these multipoles correspond to the pure multipoles. Pure multipoles of one type, i.e., either E or B, are ensured not to contain contributions from the other one, at least to within numerical artifacts. They can be therefore further used in the estimation of the sky power spectra via the pseudo power spectrum technique, which has to however correctly account for the applied apodization on the one hand, and the presence of the counterterms, on the other.In addition, the package contains the routines permitting calculation of the spin-weighted apodizations, given an input scalar, i.e., spin-0 window. The former are needed to compute the counterterms. It also provides routines for maps and window manipulations. The package implements the formalism as described in the paper by Grain, Tristram and Stompor, Physical Review D, 79, 123515, (2009) (also available as arXiv:0903.2350). The routines are written in C and based on the S2HAT library, which is used to perform all required spherical harmonic transforms as well as all inter-processor communication. They are therefore parallelized using MPI and follow the distributed-memory computational model. The data distribution patterns, pixelization choices, conventions etc are all as those assumed/allowed by the S2HAT library. > Top of the page Software> Top of the page Contact info/bug trackerThis package has been developed by J.
