Plots

 

WMAP5 (blue squares), ACBAR (green triangles), QUaD (turquoise diamonds) and the SPT (black circles) DSFG-subtracted bandpowers plotted over the best-fit, lensed LambdaCDM cosmological model (dashed red line) plus the best-fit tSZ power spectrum (solid black line), homogenous kSZ model (dashed black line), and residual Poisson distributed point source contribution (solid orange line) to the SPT bandpowers. The combined best-fit model is shown by the solid red line. The plotted SPT bandpowers have been multiplied by the best-fit calibration factor of 0.92. The patchy kSZ template is also shown for reference (dotted black line). (This is Figure 4 in Lueker et al. 2009.)

 
 
 

Point-source-subtracted Bandpowers

 

These bandpowers are calculated for a linear combination of the 150 and 220 GHz maps (map150 - 0.325 * map220) designed to remove foreground emission from dusty star-forming galaxies.

The CosmoMC data files are here in a gzipped tarball. These files use the CosmoMC extension produced by the QUaD collaboration which is available here .
The contents of the tarball consist of .newdat file and directory with window functions in text format. Spectrum_dsfg.newdat has bandpowers, uncertainties, and beam & calibration uncertainties. The window functions can be found in window_spt/window_XX, where XX is the bin number. In the window function files, the first column is ell and the second column is W_ell/ell.

A text file with the bandpowers for plotting can be found here .
Each row is one ell-bin. The columns are (1) ell_lower, (2) ell_upper, (3) ell_effective, (4) bandpower, and (5) bandpower uncertainty.

 
 

Single-frequency Bandpowers

 

These bandpowers are calculated for 150x150, 150x220 and 220x220 spectra.

The CosmoMC data files are here in a gzipped tarball. These files use the CosmoMC extension produced by the QUaD collaboration which is available here .

A text file with the bandpowers for plotting can be found here .
Each row is one ell-bin. The columns are (1) ell_lower, (2) ell_upper, (3) ell_effective, (4) bandpower for 150x150, (5) bandpower uncertainty for 150x150, (6) bandpower for 150x220, (7) bandpower uncertainty for 150x220, (8) bandpower for 220x220, and (9) bandpower uncertainty for 220x220.
