Noise estimation in CMB time-streams and fast map-making. Application to the BOOMERanG98 data
S. Prunet, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
We describe here an iterative method for jointly estimating the noise power spectrum from a CMB experiment's time-ordered data, together with the maximum-likelihood map. We test th…
Observations of Galactic and Extra-galactic Sources From the BOOMERANG and SEST Telescopes
K. Coble, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +32
We present millimeter-wave observations of three extra-galactic and six Galactic sources in the Southern sky. Observations were made at 90, 150, 240 and 400 GHz with resolutions of…
Detection of anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background at horizon and sub-horizon scales with the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
BOOMERanG has recently resolved structures on the last scattering surface at redshift 1100 with high signal to noise ratio. We review the technical advances which made this…
Multiple Peaks in the Angular Power Spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background: Significance and Consequences for Cosmology
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +32
Three peaks and two dips have been detected in the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background from the BOOMERANG experiment, at and $\ell \sim 420,…
First results from the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
We report the first results from the BOOMERanG experiment, which mapped at 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz a wide (3%) region of the microwave sky with minimal local contamination. From t…
The BOOMERanG experiment and the curvature of the Universe
S. Masi, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
We describe the BOOMERanG experiment and its main result, i.e. the measurement of the large scale curvature of the Universe. BOOMERanG is a balloon-borne microwave telescope with s…
BOOMERANG: A Balloon-borne Millimeter Wave Telescope and Total Power Receiver for Mapping Anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background
B. P. Crill, P. A. R. Ade, D. R. Artusa +34
We describe BOOMERANG; a balloon-borne microwave telescope designed to map the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at a resolution of 10' from the Long Duration Balloon (LDB) platfor…
A measurement by BOOMERANG of multiple peaks in the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background
C. B. Netterfield, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +30
This paper presents a measurement of the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background from l=75 to l=1025 (~10' to 5 degrees) from a combined analysis of four 150 GHz…
