The Dark Ages Explorer (DEX): a filled-aperture ultra-long wavelength radio interferometer on the lunar far side
C. D. Brinkerink, M. J. Arts, M. J. Bentum +21
The measurement of the spatial fluctuations of the neutral hydrogen 21 cm signal arising during the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn periods of our Universe (z from 200 to 10) holds the p…
PILOT balloon-borne experiment in-flight performance
A. Mangilli, G. Foënard, J. Aumont +48
The Polarized Instrument for Long-wavelength Observation of the Tenuous interstellar medium (PILOT) is a balloon-borne experiment aiming at measuring the polarized emission of ther…
In-flight measurement of Planck telescope emissivity
F. Cuttaia, L. Terenzi, G. Morgante +19
The Planck satellite in orbit mission ended in October 2013. Between the end of Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) routine mission operations and the satellite decommissioning, a dedic…
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. VII. HFI TOI and beam processing
Planck Collaboration, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +225
The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) has observed the full sky at six frequencies (100, 143, 217, 353, 545, and 857 GHz) in intensity and at four frequencies in linear polari…
Planck 2015 results. II. Low Frequency Instrument data processing
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +213
We present an updated description of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) data processing pipeline, associated with the 2015 data release. We point out the places where our re…
PILOT: a balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarized FIR emission of dust grains in the interstellar medium
R. Misawa, J-Ph. Bernard, P. Ade +26
Future cosmology space missions will concentrate on measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, which potentially carries invaluable information about the earlie…
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…
Planck 2013 results. IX. HFI spectral response
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +217
The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) spectral response was determined through a series of ground based tests conducted with the HFI focal plane in a cryogenic environment pri…
Planck 2013 results. VII. HFI time response and beams
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +220
This paper characterizes the effective beams,the effective beam window functions and the associated errors for the Planck HFI detectors. The effective beam is the angular response…
Planck 2013 results. V. LFI calibration
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, C. Armitage-Caplan +217
We discuss the methods employed to photometrically calibrate the data acquired by the Low Frequency Instrument on Planck. Our calibration is based on a combination of the Orbital D…
Planck early results: first assessment of the High Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
Planck HFI Core Team, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +163
The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) is designed to measure the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background and galactic foregrounds in six w…
Planck Early Results. V. The Low Frequency Instrument data processing
A. Zacchei, D. Maino, C. Baccigalupi +146
We describe the processing of data from the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) used in production of the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC). In particular, we discus…
Planck Early Results. II. The thermal performance of Planck
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +225
The performance of the Planck instruments in space is enabled by their low operating temperatures, 20K for LFI and 0.1K for HFI, achieved through a combination of passive radiative…
