Maps of the millimetre sky from the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, A. Balbi +38
In the 1998-99 flight, BOOMERanG has produced maps of of the sky at high Galactic latitudes, at frequencies of 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz, with resolution $\simgt 10'$. Th…
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…
Foregrounds in the BOOMERANG-LDB data: a preliminary rms analysis
S. Masi, P. A. R. Ade, J. Bock +18
We present a preliminary analysis of the BOOMERanG LDB maps, focused on foregrounds. BOOMERanG detects dust emission at moderately low galactic latitudes () in bands cen…
Detection of anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background at horizon and sub-horizon scales with the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
BOOMERanG has recently resolved structures on the last scattering surface at redshift 1100 with high signal to noise ratio. We review the technical advances which made this…
CMB Analysis of Boomerang & Maxima & the Cosmic Parameters {Omega_tot,Omega_b h^2,Omega_cdm h^2,Omega_Lambda,n_s}
J. R. Bond, P. Ade, A. Balbi +40
We show how estimates of parameters characterizing inflation-based theories of structure formation localized over the past year when large scale structure (LSS) information from ga…
