PySM pysm3 v3.4.0b6 dust models validation

[erussier]

I did the comparison between the PySM bandpass integrated dust models d9, d10, d11 and d12 with Planck's 3rd data release at 353 GHz and nside 2048.

Bandpass used: HFI_RIMO_R3.00.fits

Observations used: Noise simulation: ffp10_noise_353_psb_full_map_mc_00000.fits PR3 data: HFI_SkyMap_353-psb-field-IQU_2048_R3.00_full.fits PR3 Half mission 1: HFI_SkyMap_353_2048_R3.01_halfmission-1.fits PR3 Half mission 2: HFI_SkyMap_353_2048_R3.01_halfmission-2.fits

You can see the summary of the results of this analysis in these slides. The code where I do the bandpass integration is here, which you would need to run first if you want to launch my analysis notebook and the notebook where I did my analysis is here.

For the power spectra analysis, I used two different apodized masks for the intensity and for the polarization that you can see in slide 33. This is what I get for the EE, BB power spectra for d9, d10, d11, d12, PR3 and PR3 HM1xHM2:
