Non-Gaussianity in SMICA

M. Citran, H. V. Tran, G. Patanchon +1

We develop a new formalism for the component separation method Spectral Matching Independent Component Analysis (SMICA) in order to include the information contained in the foregro…

Galactic Science with the LiteBIRD satellite: Spectral characterization of diffuse Galactic polarized emission at the angular power spectrum level

S. Vinzl, J. Aumont, L. Vacher +108

Detection of primordial -mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from tensor perturbations generated during inflation is a major scientific goal of future CMB…

A Simulation Framework for the LiteBIRD Instruments

M. Tomasi, L. Pagano, A. Anand +111

LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of -mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission focused on primordial cosmo…

A cross-calibration approach for polarisation-sensitive detectors in CMB experiments: application to LiteBIRD's polarisation angle calibration

A. Novelli, F. Piacentini, S. Micheli +102

One of the current challenges in observational cosmology is obtaining high-precision polarisation maps of the CMB to measure primordial -modes and constrain the tensor-to-scalar…

LiteBIRD science goals and forecasts: improved full-sky reconstruction of the gravitational lensing potential through the combination of Planck and LiteBIRD data

M. Ruiz-Granda, P. Diego-Palazuelos, C. Gimeno-Amo +102

Cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons are deflected by large-scale structure through gravitational lensing. This secondary effect introduces higher-order correlations in CMB an…

On the computational feasibility of Bayesian end-to-end analysis of LiteBIRD simulations within Cosmoglobe

R. Aurvik, M. Galloway, E. Gjerløw +107

We assess the computational feasibility of end-to-end Bayesian analysis of the JAXA-led LiteBIRD experiment by analysing simulated time ordered data (TOD) for a subset of detectors…

Mitigating half-wave plate systematics at the map-making level: calibration requirements for LiteBIRD

N. Raffuzzi, A. Carones, M. Monelli +101

Although half-wave plates (HWPs) are becoming a popular choice of polarization modulators for cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, their non-idealities can introduce syst…

LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts: constraining isotropic cosmic birefringence

E. de la Hoz, P. Diego-Palazuelos, J. Errard +112

Cosmic birefringence (CB) is the rotation of the photons' linear polarisation plane during propagation. Such an effect is a tracer of parity-violating extensions of standard electr…

LiteBIRD Mission Overview after Mission Reformation

LiteBIRD Collaboration, K. Aizawa, H. Akamatsu +172

LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led space mission designed to produce all-sky microwave polarization maps. Its primary science goal is to test representative inflationary models by measuring th…

Requirements on bandpass resolution and measurement precision for LiteBIRD

S. Giardiello, A. Carones, T. Ghigna +95

In this work, we study the impact of an imperfect knowledge of the instrument bandpasses on the estimate of the tensor-to-scalar ratio in the context of the next-generation Lit…

First release of LiteBIRD simulations from an end-to-end pipeline

M. Bortolami, N. Raffuzzi, L. Pagano +107

The LiteBIRD satellite mission aims at detecting Cosmic Microwave Background modes with unprecedented precision, targeting a total error on the tensor-to-scalar ratio of $Î…

LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts. -mode Anomalies

A. J. Banday, C. Gimeno-Amo, P. Diego-Palazuelos +101

Various so-called anomalies have been found in both the WMAP and Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature data that exert a mild tension against the highly successful b…
