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…
The Hertz/VPM polarimeter: Design and first light observations
Megan Krejny, David Chuss, Christian Drouet d'Aubigny +10
We present first results of Hertz/VPM, the first submillimeter polarimeter employing the dual Variable-delay Polarization Modulator (dual-VPM). This device differs from previously…
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…
Diffraction Considerations for Planar Detectors in the Few-Mode Limit
David T. Chuss, Edward J. Wollack, S. Harvey Moseley +2
Filled arrays of bolometers are currently being employed for use in astronomy from the far-infrared through millimeter parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because of the large r…
PAPPA: Primordial Anisotropy Polarization Pathfinder Array
A. Kogut, D. T. Chuss, D. Fixsen +14
The Primordial Anisotropy Polarization Pathfinder Array (PAPPA) is a balloon-based instrument to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background and search for the sign…
Results of SPARO 2003: Mapping Magnetic Fields in Giant Molecular Clouds
H. Li, G. S. Griffin, M. Krejny +5
We present results from the Austral Winter 2003 observing campaign of SPARO, a 450 micron polarimeter used with a two-meter telescope at South Pole. We mapped large-scale magnetic…
