CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Prospects for polarized foreground removal
J. Dunkley, A. Amblard, C. Baccigalupi +28
In this report we discuss the impact of polarized foregrounds on a future CMBPol satellite mission. We review our current knowledge of Galactic polarized emission at microwave freq…
Dispersion of Magnetic Fields in Molecular Clouds. I
Roger H. Hildebrand, Larry Kirby, Jessie L. Dotson +2
We describe a method for determining the dispersion of magnetic field vectors about large-scale fields in turbulent molecular clouds. The method is designed to avoid inaccurate est…
The Removal of Artificially Generated Polarization in SHARP Maps
Michael Attard, Martin Houde, Giles Novak +1
We characterize the problem of artificial polarization for the Submillimeter High Angular Resolution Polarimeter (SHARP) through the use of simulated data and observations made at…
New Results on the Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum of the Orion Molecular Cloud
J. E. Vaillancourt, C. D. Dowell, R. H. Hildebrand +7
We have used the SHARP polarimeter at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to map the polarization at wavelengths of 350 and 450 micron in a ~2 x 3 arcmin region of the Orion Mole…
Far-infrared polarimetry from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy
J. E. Vaillancourt, D. T. Chuss, R. M. Crutcher +8
Multi-wavelength imaging polarimetry at far-infrared wavelengths has proven to be an excellent tool for studying the physical properties of dust, molecular clouds, and magnetic fie…
Design and Initial Performance of SHARP, a Polarimeter for the SHARC-II Camera at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory
H. Li, C. D. Dowell, L. Kirby +2
We have developed a fore-optics module that converts the SHARC-II camera at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory into a sensitive imaging polarimeter at wavelengths of 350 and 450…
