CMB Polarisation Signal Demodulation with a Rotating Half-Wave Plate

Mariam Rashid, Michael L. Brown, Daniel B. Thomas

Several forthcoming Cosmic Microwave Background polarisation experiments will employ a Continuously Rotating Half-Wave Plate (CRHWP), the primary purpose of which is to mitigate in…

Fast map-based simulations of systematics in CMB surveys including effects of the scanning strategy

Nialh McCallum, Daniel B. Thomas, Michael L. Brown

We present approaches to quickly simulate systematics affecting CMB observations, including the effects of the scanning strategy. Using summary properties of the scan we capture fe…

Spin-based removal of instrumental systematics in 21cm intensity mapping surveys

Nialh McCallum, Daniel B. Thomas, Philip Bull +1

Upcoming cosmological intensity mapping surveys will open new windows on the Universe, but they must first overcome a number of significant systematic effects, including polarizati…

Galactic foreground constraints on primordial -mode detection for ground-based experiments

Carlos Hervías-Caimapo, Anna Bonaldi, Michael L. Brown +1

Contamination by polarized foregrounds is one of the biggest challenges for future polarized cosmic microwave background (CMB) surveys and the potential detection of primordial …

Consequences of constant elevation scans for instrumental systematics in Cosmic Microwave Background Experiments

Daniel B. Thomas, Nialh McCallum, Michael L. Brown

Instrumental systematics need to be controlled to high precision for upcoming Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments. The level of contamination caused by these systematics…
