Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around obtaining WMAP data specifically for l(l+1) Cl / 2pi as a function of l, with the intent of comparing personal models against WMAP results. The focus is on data accessibility for plotting power spectra, particularly the TT and TE spectra.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the availability of WMAP data for l(l+1) Cl / 2pi to compare with their models.
  • Another participant suggests a resource, specifically http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov, as a source for the needed data.
  • Subsequent replies express gratitude for the information and offer assistance with analysis related to the data.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for WMAP data and the suggested resource appears to be accepted, though no detailed discussion on the data's adequacy or completeness occurs.

Contextual Notes

No limitations or unresolved issues are explicitly mentioned in the discussion.

Who May Find This Useful

Researchers or students interested in cosmology, particularly those looking to compare theoretical models with observational data from WMAP.

I'd like to compare some models of mine against results from WMAP. Is there anywhere I can get the data, l(l+1) Cl / 2pi as a function of l? I see plenty of images of the TT, TE power spectra with error bars on them from WMAP, but can't seem to find the data. Ideally I'd like to plot my models on the same graph as the WMAP model.

http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov has everything you need.

No problem ;) If you have any questions on the analysis let me know. This is actually my current field of study :)
