Based on 17 seasons of Nyquist sampled Jupiter observations, and physical mirror model fit to this data (two ~50 day seasons every ~400 days) High S/N region: binned data are used Low S/N region (< 0.25% of integrated response): model is used Full far-sidelobe treatment is included in data analysis, based on ground measurements, early flight moon observations, and analytic models Sidelobe effects are iteratively updated in the gain/baseline calibration: dipole: ΔTvi = ΔTv,main,i + ΔTv,side,i anisotropy: ΔTai = ΔTa,main,i + ΔTa,side,i

Bennett et al. 2013 ± 200 μK
The ILC provides a region-by-region “Internal Linear Combination” of 5 band maps that minimizes the variance of each region. It keeps the CMB and some small linear combination of foregrounds that partially cancels the CMB fluctuations.

An estimate of the CMB-foreground covariance error in the ILC
Color bar goes up to 66 μK = 1σ of CMB fluctuations This error is small for a large fraction

WMAP measures this angle
If the universe is flat (Euclidean), this lets us measure the distance to last scattering, which gives us the Hubble constant: H0 = 70.0 ± 2.2 km s-1 Mpc-1 (and dA above) If we measure the expansion of the universe (H0 = 73.8 ± 2.4), we find it is flat Ratio of first two peak heights gives the physical baryon density: Ωbh2 = 0.02264 ± 0.00050 Photon to baryon ratio modifies the speed of sound: cs = c / [3(1 + 3Ωb/4Ωr)]1/2 Baryons, photons, and FRW give time to last scattering. Integrating sound speed over this time gives the horizon. WMAP9+eCMB+BAO+H0:

WMAP does not detect bispectrum non-Gaussianity: fNL
fNLlocal = 37.2 ± 19.9 (Bennett et al, 2013) Expected to be 0.015, from ns measurements Can be created from a local perturbation: Weights squeezed triangles positively: k1 = k2 >> k3. fNLeq = 51 ± 136 Can be created by inflation models with non-canonical kinetic terms (i.e. Dirac-Born-Infeld) Weights equilateral triangles positively: k1 = k2 = k3. fNLorth = -245 ± 100 Can be created by a linear combination of higher derivative scalar-field interaction terms FNLorth mostly orthogonal to FNLlocal and FNLeq. Weights equilateral triangles positively, and squeezed and folded triangles negatively These are not all possible ways to search for a bispectrum Komatsu 2010
