A cross-calibration approach for polarisation-sensitive detectors in CMB experiments: application to LiteBIRD's polarisation angle calibration
A. Novelli, F. Piacentini, S. Micheli +102
One of the current challenges in observational cosmology is obtaining high-precision polarisation maps of the CMB to measure primordial -modes and constrain the tensor-to-scalar…
Mitigating half-wave plate systematics at the map-making level: calibration requirements for LiteBIRD
N. Raffuzzi, A. Carones, M. Monelli +101
Although half-wave plates (HWPs) are becoming a popular choice of polarization modulators for cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, their non-idealities can introduce syst…
LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts. -mode Anomalies
A. J. Banday, C. Gimeno-Amo, P. Diego-Palazuelos +101
Various so-called anomalies have been found in both the WMAP and Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature data that exert a mild tension against the highly successful b…
LiteBIRD science goals and forecasts: improved full-sky reconstruction of the gravitational lensing potential through the combination of Planck and LiteBIRD data
M. Ruiz-Granda, P. Diego-Palazuelos, C. Gimeno-Amo +102
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons are deflected by large-scale structure through gravitational lensing. This secondary effect introduces higher-order correlations in CMB an…
On the computational feasibility of Bayesian end-to-end analysis of LiteBIRD simulations within Cosmoglobe
R. Aurvik, M. Galloway, E. Gjerløw +107
We assess the computational feasibility of end-to-end Bayesian analysis of the JAXA-led LiteBIRD experiment by analysing simulated time ordered data (TOD) for a subset of detectors…
Impact of beam far side-lobe knowledge in the presence of foregrounds for LiteBIRD
C. Leloup, G. Patanchon, J. Errard +108
We present a study of the impact of an uncertainty in the beam far side-lobe knowledge on the measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background -mode signal at large scale. It is e…
