We present a semi-analytical method to investigate the systematic effects and statistical uncertainties of the calculated angular power spectrum when incomplete spherical maps are used. The computed power spectrum suffers in particular a loss of angular frequency resolution, which can be written as delta_l ~ pi/gamma_max, where gamma_max is the effective maximum extent of the partial spherical maps. We propose a correction algorithm to reduce systematic effects on the estimated C_l, as obtained from the partial map projection on the spherical harmonic Ylm(l,m) basis. We have derived near optimal bands and weighting functions in l-space for power spectrum calculation using small maps, and a correction algorithm for partially masked spherical maps that contain information on the angular correlations on all scales.
We present a novel application of partial convolutional neural networks (PCNN) that can inpaint masked images of the cosmic microwave background. The network can reconstruct both the maps and the power spectra to a few percent for circular and irregu
We revisit the problem of exact CMB likelihood and power spectrum estimation with the goal of minimizing computational cost through linear compression. This idea was originally proposed for CMB purposes by Tegmark et al. (1997), and here we develop i
The lensing power spectrum from cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps will be measured with unprecedented precision with upcoming experiments, including upgrades to ACT and SPT. Achieving significant improvements in cosmological paramete
We compute the effects induced by the use of small CMB maps on the measurement of the $cl{l}$ coefficients of the angular power spectrum and show that small systematic effects have to be taken into account. We also compute numerically the cosmic vari
A theoretical framework is developed to estimate the optimal binning of X-ray spectra. We derived expressions for the optimal bin size for model spectra as well as for observed data using different levels of sophistication. It is shown that by taking
