Description
In the last years we obtained a very detailed picture of the Primordial
Universe by, among other means, measuring the intensity and the
polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). With the last
space missions WMAP and Planck we entered in the precision Cosmology
era. Nowadays, ground-based experiments are measuring the sky looking
for the detection of promordial CMB B-modes, the tiny polarization
signal relic from Inflation. This is one of the most challenging
objectives of modern Cosmology, since many contaminants are strongly
hiding it. For this purpose we must achieve a very precise
characterization of the Galactic emission, and the ground experiments
like QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) have a very important role in this
context. We present the QUIJOTE experiment, a polarimeter amied to
characterize the polarization of the CMB and of other galactic and
extragalactic emission mechanisms, in the frequency range (10-40) GHz,
and at large angular scales. Here we describe the map-making method that
is applied to obtain the QUIJOTE maps. In particular, we report an
implementation of the standard map-making algorithm, aimed to fit for
some template functions, that we expect are affecting the data.
