Abstract

We present a technique for the blind separation of components in CMB data. The method uses a spectral EM algorithm which recovers simultaneously component templates, their emission law as a function of wavelength, and noise levels. We test the method on Planck HFI simulated observations featuring 3 astrophysical components.
