CMB polarimetry with BICEP: instrument characterization, calibration, and performance
Yuki D. Takahashi, Denis Barkats, John O. Battle +22
BICEP is a ground-based millimeter-wave bolometric array designed to target the primordial gravity wave signature on the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at de…
The Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology (EPIC): A Mission Concept Study for NASA's Einstein Inflation Probe
James Bock, Asantha Cooray, Shaul Hanany +7
This is the Phase 1 Report on the Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology (EPIC), a mission concept study for NASA's Einstein Inflation Probe. When we began our study we sough…
Separation of anomalous and synchrotron emissions using WMAP polarization data
M. -A. Miville-Deschenes, N. Ysard, A. Lavabre +4
The main goals of this study is to use the information from both WMAP intensity and polarization data to do a separation of the Galactic components, with a focus on the synchrotron…
Submillimetre point sources from the Archeops experiment: Very Cold Clumps in the Galactic Plane
F. -X. Desert, J. F. Macias-Perez, F. Mayet +7
Archeops is a balloon-borne experiment, mainly designed to measure the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies at high angular resolution (~ 12 arcminutes). By-p…
CMB Polarization Systematics Due to Beam Asymmetry: Impact on Inflationary Science
Meir Shimon, Brian Keating, Nicolas Ponthieu +1
CMB polarization provides a unique window into cosmological inflation; the amplitude of the B-mode polarization from last scattering is uniquely sensitive to the energetics of infl…
Correlated Anisotropies in the Cosmic Far-Infrared Background Detected by MIPS/Spitzer: Constraint on the Bias
G. Lagache, N. Bavouzet, N. Fernandez-Conde +5
We report the detection of correlated anisotropies in the Cosmic Far-Infrared Background at 160 microns. We measure the power spectrum in the Spitzer/SWIRE Lockman Hole field. It r…

The Robinson Telescope (BICEP) is a ground-based millimeter-wave bolometric array designed to study the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) and galactic…
Archeops In-flight Performance, Data Processing and Map Making
J. F. Macias-Perez, G. Lagache, B. Maffei +69
Archeops is a balloon--borne experiment widely inspired by the Planck satellite and by its High Frequency Instrument (HFI). It is mainly dedicated to measure the Cosmic Microwave B…
Charting the New Frontier of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization
F. R. Bouchet, A. Benoit, Ph. Camus +3
The anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background are a gold mine for cosmology and fundamental physics. ESA's Planck satellite should soon extract all information from the tempe…
