Systematics of Microwave Polarimetry with the Planck LFI
J. P. Leahy, V. Yurchenko, Morag Hastie +2
The Planck Low Frequency Instrument will recover polarization by differencing the outputs from radiometers sensitive to orthogonal polarizations. We contrast the systematic errors…
Planck early results: first assessment of the High Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
Planck HFI Core Team, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +163
The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) is designed to measure the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background and galactic foregrounds in six w…
Planck early results. VI. The High Frequency Instrument data processing
Planck HFI Core Team, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +163
We describe the processing of the 336 billion raw data samples from the High Frequency Instrument (HFI) which we performed to produce six temperature maps from the first 295 days o…
The Planck High Frequency Instrument, a 3rd generation CMB experiment, and a full sky submillimeter survey
J. M. Lamarre, J. L. Puget, F. Bouchet +23
The High Frequency Instrument (HFI) of Planck is the most sensitive CMB experiment ever planned. Statistical fluctuations (photon noise) of the CMB itself will be the major limitat…
