Proof of concept of the COSMOCal project at the IRAM 30m telescope
S. Savorgnano, L. Bizzarri, A. Ritacco +25
This work reports on a test campaign conducted at the IRAM 30m telescope to validate the COSMOCal instrument, a novel concept for absolute calibration of polarization angle, beam p…
LiteBIRD Mission Overview after Mission Reformation
LiteBIRD Collaboration, K. Aizawa, H. Akamatsu +172
LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led space mission designed to produce all-sky microwave polarization maps. Its primary science goal is to test representative inflationary models by measuring th…
Status and future development of the COSMOCal Project for absolute CMB polarization calibration
Silvia Micheli, Alessia Ritacco, Alessandro Carones +36
The paper outlines the COSMOCal project, which will place an artificial polarized microwave source on a geostationary satellite to provide stable absolute calibration for CMB polar…
Status of the COSmological Microwave Observations CALibrator
L. Mousset, J. Aumont, S. Berta +33
As the sensitivity of CMB telescopes increases, the need for precise calibration becomes critical. Started in 2022, the COSMOCal project aims to place an artificial polarized sourc…
The Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE): Mission Design and Science Goals
Alan Kogut, Eric Switzer, Dale Fixsen +14
The Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) is an Explorer-class mission concept to measure the energy spectrum and linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). A si…
