The PLANCK LFI flight model ortho-mode transducers
O. D'Arcangelo, A. Simonetto, L. Figini +10
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) of the ESA Planck CMB mission is an array of 22 ultra sensitive pseudocorrelation radiometers working at 30, 44, and 70 GHz. LFI has been calibra…
New plasma regimes with small ELMs and high confinement at the Joint European Torus
J. Garcia, E. de la Luna, M. Sertoli +15
New plasma regimes with high confinement, low core impurity accumulation and small Edge localized mode (ELMs) perturbations have been obtained close to ITER conditions in magnetica…
Planck pre-launch status: the Planck-LFI programme
N. Mandolesi, M. Bersanelli, R. C. Butler +140
This paper provides an overview of the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) programme within the ESA Planck mission. The LFI instrument has been developed to produce high precision maps…
The Low Frequency Instrument in the ESA Planck mission
A. Mennella, M. Bersanelli, B. Cappellini +8
Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) allow high precision observation of the cosmic plasma at redshift z~1100. After the success of the NASA satellite COBE, that i…
Planck pre-launch status: Design and description of the Low Frequency Instrument
M. Bersanelli, N. Mandolesi, R. C. Butler +109
In this paper we present the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI), designed and developed as part of the Planck space mission, the ESA program dedicated to precision imaging of the cosmi…
Planck Early Results: The Planck mission
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +272
The European Space Agency's Planck satellite was launched on 14 May 2009, and has been surveying the sky stably and continuously since 13 August 2009. Its performance is well in li…
