Description

We will discuss non-Gaussian effects in CMB lensing maximum a posteriori methods (MAP) coming from the large-scale structure bispectrum and extragalactic foregrounds emission. We will show how MAP methods naturally mitigate biases that are relevant for standard CMB lensing estimators, both in auto and cross-correlation analyses. This will not be relevant only for CMB-S4, for which MAP methods are statistically optimal, but also for current surveys, such as the Simons Observatory (SO), and the South Pole Telescope (SPT).
