# BICEP/Keck Array June 2021 Data Products # BICEP/Keck XIII: Improved Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves using Planck, WMAP, and BICEP/Keck Observations through the 2018 Observing Season # http://bicepkeck.org/ # # File: BK18_Nl_fsky_20210607.txt # Date: 2021-06-07 # # 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-XIII. 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 BK18 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 BICEP3 95 GHz in BK18 # Columns 7-9: Nb [uK^2], sigma(Nb) [uK^2], fsky for BICEP2/Keck 150 GHz in BK18 # Columns 10-12: Nb [uK^2], sigma(Nb) [uK^2], fsky for Keck 220 GHz in BK18 # 1 37.5 35 4.35e-06 1.15e-06 0.0108 7.76e-06 2.61e-06 0.0067 8.28e-05 2.89e-05 0.0062 2 72.5 35 2.15e-06 2.99e-07 0.0204 2.58e-06 4.69e-07 0.0119 2.51e-05 4.63e-06 0.0116 3 107.5 35 2.02e-06 2.39e-07 0.0189 2.22e-06 3.06e-07 0.0139 1.97e-05 2.67e-06 0.0145 4 142.5 35 2.09e-06 1.97e-07 0.0226 2.23e-06 2.54e-07 0.0154 1.90e-05 2.16e-06 0.0154 5 177.5 35 2.26e-06 1.81e-07 0.0249 2.45e-06 2.49e-07 0.0156 1.98e-05 1.93e-06 0.0171 6 212.5 35 2.46e-06 1.93e-07 0.0217 2.84e-06 2.40e-07 0.0189 2.12e-05 2.01e-06 0.0150 7 247.5 35 2.77e-06 2.00e-07 0.0221 3.51e-06 2.96e-07 0.0162 2.38e-05 2.03e-06 0.0158 8 282.5 35 3.19e-06 2.11e-07 0.0230 4.53e-06 3.54e-07 0.0165 2.73e-05 2.17e-06 0.0161 9 317.5 35 3.75e-06 2.41e-07 0.0218 6.02e-06 4.75e-07 0.0145 3.15e-05 2.42e-06 0.0152
