PICO: Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins
S. Hanany, M. Alvarez, E. Artis +79
The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is a proposed probe-scale space mission consisting of an imaging polarimeter operating in frequency bands between 20 and 800 GHz. W…
Astro2020 APC White Paper: The need for better tools to design future CMB experiments
G. Rocha, A. J. Banday, R. Belen Barreiro +27
This white paper addresses key challenges for the design of next-decade Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments, and for assessing their capability to extract cosmological in…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Prospects for polarized foreground removal
J. Dunkley, A. Amblard, C. Baccigalupi +28
In this report we discuss the impact of polarized foregrounds on a future CMBPol satellite mission. We review our current knowledge of Galactic polarized emission at microwave freq…
The Gamow Explorer: A gamma-ray burst observatory to study the high redshift universe and enable multi-messenger astrophysics
N. E. White, F. E. Bauer, W. Baumgartner +63
The Gamow Explorer will use Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) to: 1) probe the high redshift universe (z > 6) when the first stars were born, galaxies formed and Hydrogen was reionized; and…
Neutrino Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure
K. N. Abazajian, K. Arnold, J. Austermann +74
This is a report on the status and prospects of the quantification of neutrino properties through the cosmological neutrino background for the Cosmic Frontier of the Division of Pa…
Advanced pseudo-correlation radiometers for the Planck-LFI instrument
A. Mennella, M. Bersanelli, R. C. Butler +34
The LFI (Low Frequency Instrument) on board the ESA Planck satellite is constituted by an array of radiometric detectors actively cooled at 20 K in the 30-70 GHz frequency range in…
A coherent polarimeter array for the Large Scale Polarization Explorer balloon experiment
M. Bersanelli, A. Mennella, G. Morgante +43
We discuss the design and expected performance of STRIP (STRatospheric Italian Polarimeter), an array of coherent receivers designed to fly on board the LSPE (Large Scale Polarizat…
Star formation in z>1 3CR host galaxies as seen by Herschel
P. Podigachoski, P. D. Barthel, M. Haas +15
We present Herschel (PACS and SPIRE) far-infrared (FIR) photometry of a complete sample of z>1 3CR sources, from the Herschel GT project The Herschel Legacy of distant radio-loud A…
Probing the Invisible Universe: The Case for Far-IR/Submillimeter Interferometry
D. Leisawitz, T. Armstrong, D. Benford +25
The question "How did we get here and what will the future bring?" captures the human imagination and the attention of the National Academy of Science's Astronomy and Astrophysics…
Inflation Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure
K. N. Abazajian, K. Arnold, J. Austermann +91
Fluctuations in the intensity and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe each contain clues about the natu…
Comparison of map-making algorithms for CMB experiments
T. Poutanen, G. de Gasperis, E. Hivon +12
We have compared the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropy maps made from one-year time ordered data (TOD) streams that simulated observations of the originally…
