E/B mode mixing
Emory F. Bunn
In future microwave background polarization experiments, particularly those that aim to characterize the B component, careful attention will have to be paid to the mixing of E and…
Phase Shift Sequences for an Adding Interferometer
Peter Hyland, Brent Follin, Emory F. Bunn
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimetry has the potential to provide revolutionary advances in cosmology. Future experiments to detect the very weak B mode signal in CMB pola…
Contamination cannot explain the lack of large-scale power in the cosmic microwave background radiation
Emory F. Bunn, Austin Bourdon
Several anomalies appear to be present in the large-angle cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy maps of WMAP. One of these is a lack of large-scale power. Because the data o…
Directionality in the WMAP Polarization Data
Duncan Hanson, Douglas Scott, Emory F. Bunn
Polarization is the next frontier of CMB analysis, but its signal is dominated over much of the sky by foregrounds which must be carefully removed. To determine the efficacy of thi…
Constraining f(R) Gravity as a Scalar Tensor Theory
Thomas Faulkner, Max Tegmark, Emory F. Bunn +1
We search for viable f(R) theories of gravity, making use of the equivalence between such theories and scalar-tensor gravity. We find that models can be made consistent with solar…
Systematic Errors in Cosmic Microwave Background Interferometry
Emory F. Bunn
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization observations will require superb control of systematic errors in order to achieve their full scientific potential, particularly in th…
