Sky coverage of the Kiruna flight

We present in Fig. 1 a simulated map at 2 mm (143 GHz) containing the CMB (including the dipole due to the Earth movement towards the cosmic fluid) and the Galaxy, which are the two major components of the millimeter sky. On this map, we have overimpressed the sky coverage of the Kiruna scientific flight. The projection is Galactic Mollweide centered on the Galactic anticenter. This map shows that a large part of the CMB fluctuations sky has been observed by Archeops. The data are still being analyzed.
