GUEST: Gravitational Universe Exploration with Satellite Tracking. A passive satellite laser-ranging mission for the dark gravitational Universe
Diego Blas, Aurélien Hees, F. Javier Atapuerca +78
GUEST is a space mission concept whose central objective is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in the microhertz band -- a physics-rich frequency window that no other prese…
NovaMoon: A Strategic Lunar Reference Station for Positioning, Timing, and Largely Enhanced Science in the Earth-Moon System
Serena Molli, Agnès Fienga, Pascale Defraigne +82
The renewed interest in lunar exploration and the development of future lunar communication and navigation services highlight the need for a precise, stable, and interoperable geod…
LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts: constraining isotropic cosmic birefringence
E. de la Hoz, P. Diego-Palazuelos, J. Errard +112
Cosmic birefringence (CB) is the rotation of the photons' linear polarisation plane during propagation. Such an effect is a tracer of parity-violating extensions of standard electr…
Multi-dimensional optimisation of the scanning strategy for the LiteBIRD space mission
Y. Takase, L. Vacher, H. Ishino +105
Large angular scale surveys in the absence of atmosphere are essential for measuring the primordial -mode power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Since this pro…
Requirements on the gain calibration for LiteBIRD polarisation data with blind component separation
F. Carralot, A. Carones, N. Krachmalnicoff +106
Future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments are primarily targeting a detection of the primordial -mode polarisation. The faintness of this signal requires exquisite co…
LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts. Mapping the Hot Gas in the Universe
M. Remazeilles, M. Douspis, J. A. Rubiño-MartÃn +104
We assess the capabilities of the LiteBIRD mission to map the hot gas distribution in the Universe through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. Our analysis relies on compreh…
