How to Find More Supernovae with Less Work: Object Classification Techniques for Difference Imaging
S. Bailey, C. Aragon, R. Romano +3
We present the results of applying new object classification techniques to difference images in the context of the Nearby Supernova Factory supernova search. Most current supernova…
A 3D radiative transfer framework: II. line transfer problems

We describe two separate wavelength discretization schemes that can be used in the numerical solution of the comoving frame radiative transfer equation. We present an improved seco…
Measuring CMB Polarization with BOOMERANG
T. Montroy, P. A. R. Ade, A. Balbi +38
BOOMERANG is a balloon-borne telescope designed for long duration (LDB) flights around Antarctica. The second LDB Flight of BOOMERANG took place in January 2003. The primary goal o…
Determining Foreground Contamination in CMB Observations: Diffuse Galactic Emission in the MAXIMA-I Field
A. H. Jaffe, A. Balbi, J. R. Bond +11
Observations of the CMB can be contaminated by diffuse foreground emission from sources such as Galactic dust and synchrotron radiation. In these cases, the morphology of the conta…
Improved Measurement of the Angular Power Spectrum of Temperature Anisotropy in the CMB from Two New Analyses of BOOMERANG Observations
J. E. Ruhl, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +27
We report the most complete analysis to date of observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) obtained during the 1998 flight of BOOMERANG. We use two quite different metho…
Multiple Methods for Estimating the Bispectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background with Application to the MAXIMA Data
M. G. Santos, A. Heavens, A. Balbi +11
We describe different methods for estimating the bispectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background data. In particular we construct a minimum variance estimator for the flat-sky limit and…

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…

G. Polenta, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +28
We search the BOOMERanG maps of the anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) for deviations from gaussianity. In this paper we focus on analysis techniques in pixel-spac…
