This introductory guide aims to provide insight to new researchers in the field of cosmic microwave background (CMB) map analysis on best practices for several common procedures. We will discuss common map-modifying procedures such as masking, downgrading resolution, the effect of the beam and the pixel window function, and adding white noise. We will explore how these modifications affect the final power spectrum measured from a map. This guide aims to describe the best way to perform each of these procedures, when the different steps and measures should be carried out, and the effects of incorrectly performing or applying any of them.

  1. Bias from small-scale leakage in Pulsar Timing Array maps

    astro-ph.IM 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    Unmodeled small-scale gravitational-wave power systematically inflates reconstructed large-scale angular power spectra in pulsar timing array anisotropy searches.

  2. Dark siren cross-correlations and the sensitivity of $H_0$ to methodological choices

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Methodological choices in dark-siren angular cross-correlations can bias H0, but forward-modelling selection, flexible bias, mock covariances and sensible binning keep the recovery unbiased for large precise samples.

  3. Dark siren cross-correlations and the sensitivity of $H_0$ to methodological choices

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Methodological choices in dark siren cross-correlations can mitigate biases in H0 inference when selection effects are built into the model and samples of precise events are sufficiently large.
