The POLARBEAR-2 and Simons Array Focal Plane Fabrication Status

B. Westbrook, P. A. R. Ade, M. Aguilar +90

We present on the status of POLARBEAR-2 A (PB2-A) focal plane fabrication. The PB2-A is the first of three telescopes in the Simon Array (SA), which is an array of three cosmic mic…

BICEP / Keck XVII: Line of Sight Distortion Analysis: Estimates of Gravitational Lensing, Anisotropic Cosmic Birefringence, Patchy Reionization, and Systematic Errors

Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +91

We present estimates of line-of-sight distortion fields derived from the 95 GHz and 150 GHz data taken by BICEP2, BICEP3, and Keck Array up to the 2018 observing season, leading to…

BICEP / Keck XVI: Characterizing Dust Polarization through Correlations with Neutral Hydrogen

Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +92

We characterize Galactic dust filaments by correlating BICEP/Keck and Planck data with polarization templates based on neutral hydrogen (H I) observations. Dust polarization is imp…

Bias on Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio Inference With Estimated Covariance Matrices

Dominic Beck, Ari Cukierman, W. L. Kimmy Wu

We investigate simulation-based bandpower covariance matrices commonly used in cosmological parameter inferences such as the estimation of the tensor-to-scalar ratio . We find t…
