A measurement of atmospheric circular polarization with POLARBEAR
Takuro Fujino, Satoru Takakura, Shahed Shayan Arani +20
At millimeter wavelengths, the atmospheric emission is circularly polarized owing to the Zeeman splitting of molecular oxygen by the Earth's magnetic field. We report a measurement…

Exploration of the polarization angle variability of the Crab Nebula with POLARBEAR and its application to the search for axion-like particles
Shunsuke Adachi, Tylor Adkins, Carlo Baccigalupi +23
The Crab Nebula, also known as Tau A, is a polarized astronomical source at millimeter wavelengths. It has been used as a stable light source for polarization angle calibration in…
