Description
In this talk, I will give an overview of the Cosmoglobe DR2 analysis, in particular the application of global end-to-end processing to COBE/DIRBE data. As an absolutely calibrated instrument, DIRBE is uniquely sensitive to the cosmic infrared background monopole from 1 micron to 240 microns. I will give an overview of the improved time-ordered data processing that results in maps with significantly reduced zodiacal dust contamination, as well as improved CIB monopole values consistent with theoretical predictions from integrated galactic light models.
