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…
GroundBIRD: First On-Sky Responsivity Calibration at the Teide Observatory
Alessandro Fasano, Yonggil Jo, Ricardo Tanausú Génova-Santos +12
GroundBIRD is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment located at the Teide Observatory (altitude m, Spain) designed to measure large-angular-scale intensity and p…
On beam characterization of ground-based CMB radio telescopes using UAV-mounted sources: application to the QUIJOTE TFGI and plans for LSPE-Strip
Fabio Paonessa, Lorenzo Ciorba, Giuseppe Addamo +22
The Large Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) project, funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), includes the development of LSPE-Strip, a ground-based radio telescope for observing…
Square Kilometre Array Science Data Challenge 3a: foreground removal for an EoR experiment
A. Bonaldi, P. Hartley, R. Braun +179
We present and analyse the results of the Science data challenge 3a (SDC3a, https://sdc3.skao.int/challenges/foregrounds), an EoR foreground-removal community-wide exercise organis…
The LSPE-Strip Pointing Reconstruction and Star Tracker
Michele Maris, Maurizio Tomasi, Matteo Baratto +18
This paper aims to describe the Pointing Reconstruction Model (PRM) and the prototype Star Tracker, which will be mounted on LSPE-Strip, a microwave Q- and W-band CMB telescope pla…
The European Low Frequency Survey on the Simons Array
Aniello Mennella, Kam Arnold, Susanna Azzoni +18
In this paper we present the European Low Frequency Survey (ELFS), a project that will enable foregrounds-free measurements of the primordial -mode polarization and a detection…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: The Instrument
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. A. Baselmans +126
We describe a space-borne, multi-band, multi-beam polarimeter aiming at a precise and accurate measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The instrument is…
The QUIJOTE CMB Experiment: status and first results with the multi-frequency instrument
M. López-Caniego, R. Rebolo, M. Aguiar +49
The QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint Tenerife) CMB Experiment is designed to observe the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and other Galactic and extragalactic signals at medium…
The Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff, Carlos Allende Prieto +232
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the tenth public data release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This da…
The Ninth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
III Collaboration, Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff +224
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data release (DR9) of the SDSS…
Planck pre-launch status: Design and description of the Low Frequency Instrument
M. Bersanelli, N. Mandolesi, R. C. Butler +109
In this paper we present the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI), designed and developed as part of the Planck space mission, the ESA program dedicated to precision imaging of the cosmi…
