CLASS Data Products - Color Correction and Unit Conversion

This Jupyter notebook will use the function `t2a_table_factor` to calculate the thermodynamic-to-antenna temperature conversion factors for WMAP and CLASS frequency bands. This conversion factor is applied to WMAP and CLASS maps to facilitate the cross band/experiment comparison for astrophysical sources with non-CMB spectra. We will begin by explaining the formula used in CLASS analysis, then show a few examples on how the `t2a_table_factor` function is typically used. Detailed derivation of the conversion factor can be found after the examples.
