Following up on my recent post about PySM models for Galactic emission, I have recently executed three new simulations of the Panexp model suite:

New Simulations

  • Planck: Using NPIPE beam window functions and PR3 bandpasses for HFI, Beyond Planck for LFI
  • WMAP: Including bandpasses and beam window functions
  • Idealized delta-frequency instrument: Features a 5 arcmin beam at all frequencies to be used for component separation studies (50 frequency channels spanning 20-800 GHz)

Documentation and Access

Detailed documentation about these simulations can be found in the Simon Observatory’s map-based simulations repository: Available Simulations Documentation

As these are public datasets, they have also been published on the CMB-S4 data portal: CMB-S4 Data Portal

These simulations provide valuable resources for researchers working on component separation and other CMB-related studies.
