FIVE-YEAR <i>WILKINSON MICROWAVE ANISOTROPY PROBE</i> OBSERVATIONS: BEAM MAPS AND WINDOW FUNCTIONS
Cosmology and other scientific results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) mission require an accurate knowledge of the beam patterns in flight. While the degree of beam knowledge for the WMAP one-year and three-year results was unprecedented for a CMB experiment, we have significantly improved the beam determination as …
