#This file contains the polarized noise curves for the baseline PIXIE mission concept # #Column 1: Center frequency for each channel # #Column 2: Noise level for one-second integration # #Column 2: Median noise level for skycube pixel at HEALPIX Nside=64 # #The baseline mission assumes 2 years of observations with 45% of observing #time spent with the calibrator deployed (sensitive to spectral distortions #and polarization) and 45% with the calibrator stowed (sensitive to #polarization only). Noise curves below refer to Stokes Q or U. Values at #frequencies 28.8 GHz, 38.4 GHz, and 48.0 GHz are from observations with #the calibrator deployed, while values at higher frequencies are from #observations with the calibrator stowed. # #PIXIE Baseline Mission Sensitivity for polarization (Stokes Q or U) #-------------------------------------------- #Center Freq I Sensitivity Pixel Noise # GHz Jy/sr rt(sec) Jy/sr #-------------------------------------------- 28.8 8.61E+04 4.28E+03 38.4 6.95E+04 3.45E+03 48.0 5.82E+04 2.89E+03 57.6 9.62E+03 4.78E+02 76.8 7.93E+03 3.94E+02 96.1 6.85E+03 3.41E+02 115.3 2.57E+03 1.28E+02 153.7 2.36E+03 1.17E+02 192.1 2.41E+03 1.20E+02 230.5 3.10E+03 1.54E+02 269.0 4.20E+03 2.09E+02 307.4 4.36E+03 2.17E+02 345.8 3.85E+03 1.92E+02 384.2 3.56E+03 1.77E+02 422.7 3.29E+03 1.64E+02 461.1 3.36E+03 1.67E+02 499.5 3.89E+03 1.93E+02 537.9 4.26E+03 2.12E+02 576.4 4.21E+03 2.09E+02 614.8 4.07E+03 2.02E+02 653.2 3.90E+03 1.94E+02 691.6 3.86E+03 1.92E+02 730.1 4.24E+03 2.11E+02 768.5 4.78E+03 2.38E+02 806.9 4.98E+03 2.47E+02 845.3 4.88E+03 2.43E+02 883.7 4.81E+03 2.39E+02 922.2 4.78E+03 2.37E+02 960.6 4.91E+03 2.44E+02 999.0 5.22E+03 2.59E+02 1037.4 5.66E+03 2.81E+02 1075.9 6.10E+03 3.03E+02 1114.3 6.36E+03 3.16E+02 1152.7 6.40E+03 3.18E+02 1191.1 6.34E+03 3.15E+02 1229.6 6.41E+03 3.19E+02 1268.0 6.70E+03 3.33E+02 1306.4 7.21E+03 3.58E+02 1344.8 7.71E+03 3.83E+02 1383.3 8.13E+03 4.04E+02 1421.7 8.30E+03 4.13E+02 1460.1 8.32E+03 4.14E+02 1498.5 8.43E+03 4.19E+02 1536.9 8.79E+03 4.37E+02 1575.4 9.39E+03 4.67E+02 1613.8 1.00E+04 4.98E+02 1652.2 1.06E+04 5.28E+02 1690.6 1.09E+04 5.44E+02 1729.1 1.11E+04 5.50E+02 1767.5 1.12E+04 5.59E+02 1805.9 1.17E+04 5.81E+02 1844.3 1.24E+04 6.15E+02 1882.8 1.32E+04 6.58E+02 1921.2 1.41E+04 6.99E+02 1959.6 1.46E+04 7.24E+02 1998.0 1.48E+04 7.37E+02 2036.5 1.51E+04 7.51E+02 2074.9 1.57E+04 7.79E+02 2113.3 1.65E+04 8.21E+02 2151.7 1.76E+04 8.77E+02 2190.2 1.87E+04 9.32E+02 2228.6 1.95E+04 9.71E+02 2267.0 2.00E+04 9.93E+02 2305.4 2.04E+04 1.01E+03 2343.8 2.11E+04 1.05E+03 2382.3 2.22E+04 1.10E+03 2420.7 2.37E+04 1.18E+03 2459.1 2.51E+04 1.25E+03 2497.5 2.63E+04 1.31E+03 2536.0 2.70E+04 1.34E+03 2574.4 2.77E+04 1.38E+03 2612.8 2.86E+04 1.42E+03 2651.2 3.00E+04 1.49E+03 2689.7 3.18E+04 1.58E+03 2728.1 3.38E+04 1.68E+03 2766.5 3.54E+04 1.76E+03 2804.9 3.67E+04 1.82E+03 2843.4 3.76E+04 1.87E+03 2881.8 3.87E+04 1.93E+03 2920.2 4.05E+04 2.01E+03 2958.6 4.29E+04 2.13E+03 2997.1 4.55E+04 2.26E+03 3035.5 4.78E+04 2.38E+03 3073.9 4.96E+04 2.47E+03 3112.3 5.10E+04 2.54E+03 3150.7 5.25E+04 2.61E+03 3189.2 5.48E+04 2.72E+03 3227.6 5.79E+04 2.88E+03 3266.0 6.14E+04 3.05E+03 3304.4 6.45E+04 3.21E+03 3342.9 6.72E+04 3.34E+03 3381.3 6.92E+04 3.44E+03 3419.7 7.12E+04 3.54E+03 3458.1 7.41E+04 3.68E+03 3496.6 7.81E+04 3.88E+03 3535.0 8.25E+04 4.10E+03 3573.4 8.71E+04 4.33E+03 3611.8 9.08E+04 4.52E+03 3650.3 9.37E+04 4.66E+03 3688.7 9.65E+04 4.80E+03 3727.1 1.00E+05 4.99E+03 3765.5 1.05E+05 5.24E+03 3803.9 1.11E+05 5.53E+03 3842.4 1.17E+05 5.84E+03 3880.8 1.23E+05 6.10E+03 3919.2 1.27E+05 6.31E+03 3957.6 1.31E+05 6.50E+03 3996.1 1.36E+05 6.74E+03 4034.5 1.42E+05 7.06E+03 4072.9 1.50E+05 7.45E+03 4111.3 1.58E+05 7.87E+03 4149.8 1.66E+05 8.24E+03 4188.2 1.71E+05 8.53E+03 4226.6 1.77E+05 8.79E+03 4265.0 1.83E+05 9.11E+03 4303.5 1.91E+05 9.52E+03 4341.9 2.02E+05 1.00E+04 4380.3 2.13E+05 1.06E+04 4418.7 2.23E+05 1.11E+04 4457.2 2.31E+05 1.15E+04 4495.6 2.39E+05 1.19E+04 4534.0 2.47E+05 1.23E+04 4572.4 2.58E+05 1.28E+04 4610.8 2.71E+05 1.35E+04 4649.3 2.86E+05 1.42E+04 4687.7 3.00E+05 1.49E+04 4726.1 3.12E+05 1.55E+04 4764.5 3.23E+05 1.60E+04 4803.0 3.33E+05 1.66E+04 4841.4 3.47E+05 1.72E+04 4879.8 3.64E+05 1.81E+04 4918.2 3.84E+05 1.91E+04 4956.7 4.03E+05 2.00E+04 4995.1 4.19E+05 2.08E+04 5033.5 4.34E+05 2.16E+04 5071.9 4.48E+05 2.23E+04 5110.4 4.66E+05 2.32E+04 5148.8 4.88E+05 2.43E+04 5187.2 5.14E+05 2.56E+04 5225.6 5.40E+05 2.68E+04 5264.1 5.63E+05 2.80E+04 5302.5 5.82E+05 2.89E+04 5340.9 6.01E+05 2.99E+04 5379.3 6.24E+05 3.10E+04 5417.7 6.52E+05 3.24E+04 5456.2 6.86E+05 3.41E+04 5494.6 7.20E+05 3.58E+04 5533.0 7.52E+05 3.74E+04 5571.4 7.78E+05 3.87E+04 5609.9 8.04E+05 4.00E+04 5648.3 8.33E+05 4.14E+04 5686.7 8.70E+05 4.32E+04 5725.1 9.13E+05 4.54E+04 5763.6 9.58E+05 4.76E+04 5802.0 1.00E+06 4.98E+04 5840.4 1.04E+06 5.16E+04 5878.8 1.07E+06 5.32E+04 5917.3 1.11E+06 5.51E+04 5955.7 1.15E+06 5.74E+04 5994.1 1.25E+06 6.23E+04
