WMAP Effective Frequency Calculator

The data made available through this page has been updated. The most recent version of this data may be accessed through https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/wmap/current/"

This tool calculates the effective frequency in GHz of each bandpass for a given spectral index. The algorithm and underlying parameters come from Jarosik, etal, 2003, ApJS 145, p413.

Enter the desired indices above; the underlying parameters assume
indices between -3 and 1. Multiple indices may be entered by
separating them with spaces or commas.
