Comments on the COBE DMR Quadrupole Estimation
Abstract
Equation (1) and the numbers in table 1 can be used to correct the published values of Q rms. For non-uniform sampling, instrument noise and Galactic cut the corrections correspond to the sum in quadrature of the Gould and Stark adjustment (Table 4 in [St]). Out corrections Q(σ i) are about 25% smaller than those of Stark. The corrections due only to noise are about 10% smaller than those in [Gd].
