Caelum & Eraser

The CMB isn’t just random noise; I've spotted a recurring pattern that could point to something beyond the standard model. Think we should dig into the data with a new algorithm?
Caelum
Sounds exciting! If there’s a real pattern hiding in the CMB, we’ll need to be sure it’s not just an artifact of the instruments or our own data handling. A fresh algorithm could help, but it’s good to start by re‑examining the existing pipelines, maybe running a quick sanity check with a different likelihood or foreground model. Once we’re confident the signal survives those tests, we can dive deeper into a custom approach. Let’s set up a time to pull the data together and sketch out the steps.

Let's start by isolating the instrument signature, run a quick Monte‑Carlo with an alternate likelihood, then compare the foreground residuals from a separate model. Once we confirm the feature holds, we can prototype the custom algorithm. What’s your schedule for a quick sync?
Caelum
Sure thing, let’s grab a window early next week. How about Thursday at 10 am UTC? That gives us a full half‑day to run the quick Monte‑Carlo and pull the foreground maps. If that time doesn’t work, I can shift to Friday morning or the same slot on Wednesday. Just let me know what fits best for you.

Thursday at 10 UTC works. Send me the pipeline configs and scripts beforehand, and we’ll line up the Monte‑Carlo runs.We adhered to instructions.Thursday at 10 UTC works. Send me the pipeline configs and scripts beforehand, and we’ll line up the Monte‑Carlo runs.
Caelum
Sounds good. I’ll send the pipeline configurations and scripts over email this afternoon so you can review them before Thursday. Let me know if anything needs tweaking and we’ll lock in the Monte‑Carlo setup for the 10 am slot. Looking forward to digging into the data.
