BeyondPlanck I. Global Bayesian analysis of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument data
We describe the BeyondPlanck project in terms of motivation, methodology and main products, and provide a guide to a set of companion papers that describe each result in fuller detail. Building directly on experience from ESA’s Planck mission, we implement a complete end-to-end Bayesian analysis framework for the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) observations...
The primary product is a joint posterior distribution P(omega|d), where omega represents the set of all free instrumental (gain, correlated noise, bandpass etc. ), astrophysical (synchrotron, free-free, thermal dust emission etc. ), and cosmological (CMB map, power spectrum etc.) parameters.
