ATCA

Subrahmanyan et al. (1998 [ATCA1], 2000 [ATCA2]) use 8.7 GHz data from the ground-based ATCA (Australia Telescope Compact Array) experiment, in conjunction with foreground contamination data, to constrain CMBR anisotropy.

The window function was provided by R. Subrahmanyan. The first column in the window function file is $\ell$, which runs from 2 to 9999. The second and third columns are the ATCA1 and ATCA2 zero-lag $W_\ell$'s.

Table: ATCA zero-lag Window Function Parameters

	$\ell_{e^{-0.5}}$	$\ell_{\rm e}$	$\ell_{\rm m}$	$\ell_{e^{-0.5}}$	$\sqrt{I(W_\ell)}$
ATCA1	3525	4367.7	4677	5847	0.565
ATCA2	3734	4568.0	4906	6004	0.545

The quoted bandtemperature values are from Subrahmanyan et al. (1998, 2000). They were computed assuming a flat bandpower spectrum.
