Abstract

We present a blind multi-detector multi-component spectral matching method\nfor all sky observations of the cosmic microwave background, working on the\nspherical harmonics basis. The method allows to estimate on a set of\nobservation maps the power spectra of various components present in CMB data,\ntheir contribution levels in each detector and the noise levels. The method\naccounts for the instrumental effect of beam convolution. We have implemented\nthe method on all sky Planck simulations containing five components and white\nnoise, including beam smoothing effects.\n
