... Because the DMR instrument is differential and every pixel is multiply sampled, sky maps are produced by solving a coupled system of linear equations (the normal equations) to minimize a chi-squared. ... This is reflected in the algebraic form of the normal equations matrix, so that, if one were to diagonalize the matrix, one would find a single eigenvector whose eigenvalue was identically zero, and the associated eigenvector, viewed as a sky map, would have a constant value. ...
