# BICEP2/Keck Array October 2018 Data Products # BICEP2/Keck Array X: Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves using Planck, WMAP, and New BICEP2/Keck Observations through the 2015 Season # http://bicepkeck.org/ # # File: BK15_Nl_fsky_20181102.txt # Date: 2018-11-02 # # This file contains noise bandpowers for each ell bin, Nb, # the standard deviation on these bandpowers, sigma(Nb), and effective # fsky, which can be calculated from the first two quantities. # Specifically, we calculate fsky as # 1 / (2 * ell * Delta(ell)) * (sqrt(2) * Nb / sigma(Nb))^2, # where ell is the nominal bin center and Delta(ell) is the # nominal bin width. Nb and sigma(Nb) are in units of uK^2 and have # not been scaled by ell * (ell+1) / (2*pi). # # Nb and fsky are plotted in Figure 3 of BK-X. For that figure, the # x-axis position of the points is set to an ell value corresponding # to the effective bin center, not the nominal bin center provided here. # Those effective bin centers are calculated as the center of mass of # the bandpower window functions (which can be found in the BK15 CosmoMC # data release). # # Column 1: bin number # Column 2: ell (nominal bin center) # Column 3: Delta(ell) (nominal bin width) # Columns 4-6: Nb [uK^2], sigma(Nb) [uK^2], fsky for BK15 95 GHz # Columns 7-9: Nb [uK^2], sigma(Nb) [uK^2], fsky for BK15 150 GHz # Columns 10-12: Nb [uK^2], sigma(Nb) [uK^2], fsky for BK15 220 GHz # 1 37.5 35 1.63e-05 5.65e-06 0.0064 8.22e-06 2.85e-06 0.0063 6.12e-04 2.32e-04 0.0053 2 72.5 35 8.52e-06 1.69e-06 0.0100 2.66e-06 4.90e-07 0.0116 2.06e-04 3.72e-05 0.0121 3 107.5 35 8.70e-06 1.31e-06 0.0117 2.30e-06 3.23e-07 0.0135 1.67e-04 2.39e-05 0.0129 4 142.5 35 1.01e-05 1.22e-06 0.0139 2.32e-06 2.67e-07 0.0152 1.63e-04 1.85e-05 0.0157 5 177.5 35 1.31e-05 1.42e-06 0.0137 2.54e-06 2.75e-07 0.0137 1.69e-04 1.86e-05 0.0134 6 212.5 35 1.77e-05 1.72e-06 0.0142 2.95e-06 2.66e-07 0.0166 1.80e-04 1.83e-05 0.0130 7 247.5 35 2.57e-05 2.31e-06 0.0143 3.64e-06 3.17e-07 0.0153 2.03e-04 1.74e-05 0.0156 8 282.5 35 4.19e-05 3.25e-06 0.0169 4.72e-06 3.87e-07 0.0150 2.35e-04 1.87e-05 0.0160 9 317.5 35 7.40e-05 5.57e-06 0.0159 6.29e-06 5.00e-07 0.0142 2.77e-04 2.20e-05 0.0143
