Lidar-monitoring of atmospheric fluctuations for millimeter-wave astronomical observations

Jacques Delabrouille, Patrick Chazette, Étienne Burtin +15

Ground-based millimeter-wave astronomical observations suffer from strong contamination by the emission of inhomogeneous water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere. This emission reduce…

The Simons Observatory: Commissioning of the Mid-Frequency Small Aperture Telescopes

Kathleen Harrington, Remington Gerras, Nicholas Galitzki +88

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Tel…

LiteBIRD Mission Overview after Mission Reformation

LiteBIRD Collaboration, K. Aizawa, H. Akamatsu +172

LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led space mission designed to produce all-sky microwave polarization maps. Its primary science goal is to test representative inflationary models by measuring th…

Galactic Science with the LiteBIRD satellite: Spectral characterization of diffuse Galactic polarized emission at the angular power spectrum level

S. Vinzl, J. Aumont, L. Vacher +108

Detection of primordial -mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from tensor perturbations generated during inflation is a major scientific goal of future CMB…

Setting requirements on out-of-band rejection for next-generation CMB experiments. Application to the LiteBIRD instrument

L. Mousset, L. Montier, J. Aumont +15

Next-generation cosmic microwave background experiments have very stringent constraints to achieve the required sensitivity to target polarization modes. In this work, we inten…

Robust CMB polarisation mapmaking with a rotating half-wave plate

Wuhyun Sohn, Simon Biquard, Josquin Errard +1

We present a novel mapmaking method for obtaining unbiased estimates of CMB polarisation, tailored to modern CMB experiments with a rotating half-wave plate. These experiments are…
