Frequency Reference Stability and Coherence Loss in Radio Astronomy Interferometers Application to the SKA

Bassem Alachkar, Althea Wilkinson, Keith Grainge

The requirements on the stability of the frequency reference in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), as a radio astronomy interferometer, are given in terms of maximum accepted degree…

Planck 2015 results. XXV. Diffuse low-frequency Galactic foregrounds

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +238

(abridged) We discuss the Galactic foreground emission between 20 and 100GHz based on observations by Planck/WMAP. The Commander component-separation tool has been used to separate…

Planck 2015 results. V. LFI calibration

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +206

We present a description of the pipeline used to calibrate the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) timelines into thermodynamic temperatures for the Planck 2015 data release, cov…

Planck 2015 results. X. Diffuse component separation: Foreground maps

Planck Collaboration, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +236

Planck has mapped the microwave sky in nine frequency bands between 30 and 857 GHz in temperature and seven bands between 30 and 353 GHz in polarization. In this paper we consider…

Planck intermediate results. XV. A study of anomalous microwave emission in Galactic clouds

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +180

Anomalous microwave emission (AME) is believed to be due to electric dipole radiation from small spinning dust grains. The aim of this paper is a statistical study of the basic pro…

In-flight calibration and verification of the Planck-LFI instrument

Anna Gregorio, Francesco Cuttaia, Aniello Mennella +40

In this paper we discuss the Planck-LFI in-flight calibration campaign. After a brief overview of the ground test campaigns, we describe in detail the calibration and performance v…
