Info

This is a coadd of ACT with various other datasets using a tiled constant correlation model. Pan and scroll using the mouse, like on google maps. Use the keyboard to change what is shown.

• Press f/r to switch between f090, f150, f220, ftot, f030 and f040.
• Press c/v to cycle through T, Q, U, E, B, F.
• Press j/k to act+planck, WISE and DES
• Press z/x/ to cycle through single-freq, 3-freq, 2-freq, and 2-freq difference
• Press g to switch between color and gray-scale. Gray-scale is better for looking at low-S/N features, like point sources and clusters in the F map, or polarization.
• Press u/i to increase/decrease the color scale in steps of 10%.
• Press o/p to shift the color scale center.
• Press q to toggle the coordinate grid.

The act-only maps are gently filtered to reduce ground pickup. This was done by subtracting a constrained noise realisation from each 8x8 degree tile (the tiles are 4x4 degrees, but have a 2 degree padding on each side), where the realisation is constrained by a 1 degree thick region around the edge of the exposed part of the tile. This can be expected to remove signal on 5-10 degree scales or longer.

F is an approximately matched filtered map meant to maximize point source S/N.
