	CMB Inteferometric Polarimetry Analysis Software:

S.T. Myers (NRAO) and J.L. Sievers (CITA)

The following software is being made available to the astronomy community. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE! Read the help file for more information. It is geared towards the reduction of Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) data and thus may need substatial revision for your particular use.

The mpigridr program only grids the interferometer data. To compute the power spectrum, you need mpilikely which is available from Jon Sievers (js AT cita DOT utoronto DOT ca).

mpigridr Updated Beta release (27-Nov-2006) - [gzipped tar (1.2MB)]

"Interferometric Polarimetry of the Cosmic Microwave Background: Methodology" by S.T. Myers et al., to be published in proceedings for the conference Fundamental Physics With Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation held March 23-25, 2006 at University of California Irvine (30-Aug-2006) - [PDF (877KB)] [gzipped-ps (853KB)]
"A Fast Gridded Method for the Estimation of the Power Spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background from Interferometer Data with Application to the Cosmic Background Imager" by S.T. Myers et al., ApJ, 591, 575-598 (2003) - [PDF Reprint (667KB)] [astro-ph/0205385] [ApJ]

The CBI data analysis carried out with this software made use of the McKenzie Cluster at CITA.
