This site contains the maps and the masks needed to verify the dipole computations of our Dec 2010 posting available from http://arxiv.org/abs/1012.3214 Note that for simplicity all apertures in the masks were set to 25 arcmin - this still leaves a tiny amount of monopole from TSZ for the nearest redshift bin (z<0.16). (The dipole from the remaining TSZ is already negligible at this aperture, but you can increase the aperture to ~28-30 arcmin with your own software to make it go away more completely.) Here is what you need to do to use these data: 1. Download all the files and put them in the same directory: masks_lxgt2.fits.gz - is a gzipped fits file containing the cluster mask at L_X>2e44 erg/sec and z<0.16,0.20,0.25 maps_Wall.fits.gz - is a gzipped (36 Mb) fits file containing the filtered W1, W2, W3, W4 channel maps dipole_Wall_lxgt2.pro - is an HEALPix IDL procedure that computes the dipole at the cluster positions. 2. Unzip the gzipped files: e.g. on LINUX/UNIX type "gunzip masks_lxgt2.fits.gz" and "gunzip maps_Wall.fits.gz" 3. There is an option to view maps - if you want to view maps in large(r) windows, increase the parameter "pxsize" in the "dipole_Wall_lxgt2.pro" file (set to pxsize=400 in the default version). 4. Start HEALPix IDL 5. Type .rnew dipole_Wall_lxgt2 6. The output appears below (if you want to display maps and masks you'd have to type "yes" when prompted): ************************* HIDL> .rnew dipole_Wall_lxgt2 % Compiled module: $MAIN$.
