We describe an algorithm for the extraction of the angular power spectrum of an intensity field, such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), from interferometer data. This new method, based on the gridding of interferometer visibilities in the aperture plane followed by a maximum likelihood solution for bandpowers, is much faster than direct likelihood analysis of the visibilities, and deals with foreground radio sources, multiple pointings, and differencing. The gridded aperture-plane estimators are also used to construct Wiener-filtered images using the signal and noise covariance matrices used in the likelihood analysis. Results are shown for simulated data. The method has been used to determine the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background from observations with the Cosmic Background Imager, and the results are given in companion papers.

  1. How many pixels are there in a polarized pulsar timing array map?

    astro-ph.IM 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Without pulsar distances, a pulsar timing array can resolve at most about 16 sky directions times 2 polarization states, about 32 independent polarized gravitational wave sources per frequency.
