Title: A blind estimation of the power spectrum of CMB anisotropy from WMAP

Authors: Rajib Saha (IUCAA, IIT Kanpur), Pankaj Jain (IIT Kanpur) and Tarun
Souradeep (IUCAA)

Comments: 5 pages, 3 figures, (trimmed to 4 pages) Matches WMAP team estimate
exactly. The small excess is shown to be consistent with a significantly
tempered residual power from unresolved point sources, simulations include
foreground contamination, Suppl. details at:
