The Polatron: A Millimeter-Wave Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeter for the OVRO 5.5 m Telescope
B. J. Philhour, B. G. Keating, P. A. R. Ade +16
We describe the development of a bolometric receiver designed to measure the arcminute-scale polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The Polatron will be mounted at…

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…
