A study of numerical errors in simulations of the cosmic microwave background polarization

There have been numerous studies of data analysis issues involving temperature anisotropics on the microwave sky, but far less attention paid to the polarization signals. The production of maps and their reduction to power spectra proceeds by choosing a particular way of dividing the sphere into...
