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…
Status and future development of the COSMOCal Project for absolute CMB polarization calibration
Silvia Micheli, Alessia Ritacco, Alessandro Carones +36
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization measurements are pushing instrumental sensitivities to levels where calibration systematics become a dominant limitation. The large d…
A metamaterial telescope at millimetre wavelengths
Giorgio Savini, Peter Hargrave, Peter A. R. Ade +5
In this paper we present a novel telescope composed exclusively of thin, flat optical elements, each being a hot-pressed multi-layered structure combining the properties of a lens,…
Systematic effects induced by half-wave plate differential optical load and TES nonlinearity for LiteBIRD
Silvia Micheli, Tijmen de Haan, Tommaso Ghigna +12
LiteBIRD, a forthcoming satellite mission, aims to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) across the entire sky. The experiment will employ three telesco…
CONCERTO: Instrument model of Fourier transform spectroscopy, white-noise components
Alessandro Fasano, Peter Ade, Manuel Aravena +34
Modern astrophysics relies on intricate instrument setups to meet the demands of sensitivity, sky coverage, and multi-channel observations. An example is the CONCERTO project, empl…
CONCERTO at APEX -- On-sky performance in continuum
W. Hu, A. Beelen, G. Lagache +36
We present the data-processing algorithms and the performance of CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionisation and ReionisaTiOn epoch) in continuum by analysing the data from the…
CONCERTO: instrument and status
Alessandro Fasano, Peter Ade, Manuel Aravena +36
CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionization and ReionizaTiOn) is a low-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer dedicated to the study of star-forming galaxies and clusters of…
QUBIC VII: The feedhorn-switch system of the technological demonstrator
F. Cavaliere, A. Mennella, M. Zannoni +128
We present the design, manufacturing and performance of the horn-switch system developed for the technological demonstrator of QUBIC (the \& Bolometric Interferometer for Cos…
A wide field-of-view low-resolution spectrometer at APEX: instrument design and science forecast
The CONCERTO collaboration, P. Ade, M. Aravena +36
Characterise the large-scale structure in the Universe from present times to the high redshift epoch of reionisation is essential to constraining the cosmology, the history of star…
Development and application of metamaterial-based Half-Wave Plates for the NIKA and NIKA2 polarimeters
G. Pisano, A. Ritacco, A. Monfardini +11
CONTEXT.Large field-of-view imaging/polarimetry instruments operating at millimeter and submm wavelengths are fundamental tools to understand the role of magnetic fields (MF) in ch…
Baryon acoustic oscillations from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations: Broadband corrugated horn construction and testing
C. A. Wuensche, L. Reitano, M. W. Peel +13
The Baryon acoustic oscillations from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations (BINGO) telescope is a 40-m~class radio telescope under construction that has been designed to measure the…
