The White Mountain Polarimeter Telescope and an Upper Limit on CMB Polarization
Alan R. Levy, Rodrigo Leonardi, Markus Ansmann +18
The White Mountain Polarimeter (WMPol) is a dedicated ground-based microwave telescope and receiver system for observing polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. WMPol is l…
The Cosmic Foreground Explorer (COFE): A balloon-borne microwave polarimeter to characterize polarized foregrounds
Rodrigo Leonardi, Brian Williams, Marco Bersanelli +8
The COsmic Foreground Explorer (COFE) is a balloon-borne microwave polarime- ter designed to measure the low-frequency and low-l characteristics of dominant diffuse polarized foreg…
Galactic foreground contribution to the BEAST CMB Anisotropy Maps
Jorge Mejía, Marco Bersanelli, Carlo Burigana +17
We report limits on the Galactic foreground emission contribution to the Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope (BEAST) Ka- and Q-band CMB anisotropy maps. We estimate t…
The CMB Power Spectrum from the Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope (BEAST) Experiment
Ian J. O'Dwyer, Marco Bersanelli, Jeffrey Childers +19
The Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope (BEAST) is a 2.2m off-axis telescope with an 8 element mixed Q (38-45GHz) and Ka (26-36GHz) band focal plane, designed for bal…
A Map of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the BEAST Experiment
Peter R. Meinhold, Marco Bersanelli, Jeffrey Childers +24
We present the first sky maps from the BEAST (Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope) experiment. BEAST consists of a 2.2 meter off axis Gregorian telescope fed by a cry…
An Instrument for Investigating the Large Angular Scale Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background
Brian G. Keating, Christopher W. O'Dell, Joshua O. Gundersen +3
We describe the design and performance of a microwave polarimeter used to make precision measurements of polarized astrophysical radiation in three microwave frequency bands spanni…
