Measurement of the Crab nebula polarization at 90 GHz as a calibrator for CMB experiments
J. Aumont, L. Conversi, C. Thum +10
CMB experiments aiming at a precise measurement of the CMB polarization, such as the Planck satellite, need a strong polarized absolute calibrator on the sky to accurately set the…
Study of the Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology (EPIC)-Intemediate Mission for NASA's Einstein Inflation Probe
James Bock, Abdullah Aljabri, Alex Amblard +35
Measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy have served as the best experimental probe of the early universe to date. The inflationary paradigm, inspired in part b…
Characterization of the BICEP Telescope for High-Precision Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimetry
Y. D. Takahashi, P. A. R. Ade, D. Barkats +23
The BICEP experiment was designed specifically to search for the signature of inflationary gravitational waves in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Using a…
Measurement of Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Power Spectra from Two Years of BICEP Data
H. C. Chiang, P. A. R. Ade, D. Barkats +25
Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (BICEP) is a bolometric polarimeter designed to measure the inflationary B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave backgro…
Observing the Evolution of the Universe
James Aguirre, Alexandre Amblard, Amjad Ashoorioon +172
How did the universe evolve? The fine angular scale (l>1000) temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB are a Rosetta stone for understanding the evolution of the univers…
The Origin of the Universe as Revealed Through the Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background
S. Dodelson, R. Easther, S. Hanany +61
Modern cosmology has sharpened questions posed for millennia about the origin of our cosmic habitat. The age-old questions have been transformed into two pressing issues primed for…
