The Simons Observatory: Quantifying the impact of beam chromaticity on large-scale B-mode science

Nadia Dachlythra, Kevin Wolz, Susanna Azzoni +17

The Simons Observatory (SO) Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) will observe the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization at six frequency bands. Within these ba…
