Proof of concept of the COSMOCal project at the IRAM 30m telescope

S. Savorgnano, L. Bizzarri, A. Ritacco +25

This work reports on a test campaign conducted at the IRAM 30m telescope to validate the COSMOCal instrument, a novel concept for absolute calibration of polarization angle, beam p…

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…

Status of the COSmological Microwave Observations CALibrator

L. Mousset, J. Aumont, S. Berta +33

As the sensitivity of CMB telescopes increases, the need for precise calibration becomes critical. Started in 2022, the COSMOCal project aims to place an artificial polarized sourc…

3D chemical structure of diffuse turbulent ISM. I. Statistics of the HI-to-H transition

Elena Bellomi, Benjamin Godard, Patrick Hennebelle +4

We studied the statistical properties of the HI-to-H transition observed in absorption in the local diffuse and multiphase ISM to identify the physical processes controlling th…

Herschel observations of ortho- and para-oxidaniumyl (H2O+) in spiral arm clouds toward Sgr B2(M)

P. Schilke, C. Comito, H. S. P. Mueller +55

H2O+ has been observed in its ortho- and para- states toward the massive star forming core Sgr B2(M), located close to the Galactic center. The observations show absorption in all…

Detection of interstellar oxidaniumyl: abundant H2O+ towards the star-forming regions DR21, Sgr B2, and NGC6334

V. Ossenkopf, H. S. P. Müller, D. C. Lis +99

We identify a prominent absorption feature at 1115 GHz, detected in first HIFI spectra towards high-mass star-forming regions, and interpret its astrophysical origin. The character…
