ROMA: a map-making algorithm for polarised CMB data sets

Abstract

We present ROMA, a parallel code to produce joint optimal temperature and polarisation maps out of multidetector CMB observations. ROMA is a fast, accurate and robust implementation of the iterative generalised least squares approach to map-making. We benchmark ROMA on realistic simulated data from the last, polarisation sensitive, flight of BOOMERanG.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
