In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER's transition-edge sensor arrays
J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin +67
Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sens…
A Simulation-Based Method for Correcting Mode Coupling in CMB Angular Power Spectra
J. S. -Y. Leung, J. Hartley, J. M. Nagy +67
Modern CMB analysis pipelines regularly employ complex time-domain filters, beam models, masking, and other techniques during the production of sky maps and their corresponding ang…
The XFaster Power Spectrum and Likelihood Estimator for the Analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background Maps
A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin, X. Song +64
We present the XFaster analysis package. XFaster is a fast, iterative angular power spectrum estimator based on a diagonal approximation to the quadratic Fisher matrix estimator. X…
Planck 2018 results. VI. Cosmological parameters
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, Y. Akrami +179
We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements of the CMB anisotropies. We find good consistency with the standard spatially-flat 6-param…
Planck 2018 results. XI. Polarized dust foregrounds
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, M. Ashdown +131
The study of polarized dust emission has become entwined with the analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization. We use new Planck maps to characterize Galactic du…
SPIDER: CMB polarimetry from the edge of space
R. Gualtieri, J. P. Filippini, P. A. R. Ade +61
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the polarization of the millimeter-wave sky at large angular scales. SPIDER targets the B-mode signature of primordial gravitat…
280 GHz Focal Plane Unit Design and Characterization for the SPIDER-2 Suborbital Polarimeter
A. S. Bergman, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +76
We describe the construction and characterization of the 280 GHz bolometric focal plane units (FPUs) to be deployed on the second flight of the balloon-borne SPIDER instrument. The…
A New Limit on CMB Circular Polarization from SPIDER
J. M. Nagy, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +58
We present a new upper limit on CMB circular polarization from the 2015 flight of SPIDER, a balloon-borne telescope designed to search for -mode linear polarization from cosmic…
Planck intermediate results. XLVIII. Disentangling Galactic dust emission and cosmic infrared background anisotropies
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Ashdown +157
Using the Planck 2015 data release (PR2) temperature maps, we separate Galactic thermal dust emission from cosmic infrared background (CIB) anisotropies. For this purpose, we imple…
Planck 2015 results. XII. Full Focal Plane simulations
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +228
We present the 8th Full Focal Plane simulation set (FFP8), deployed in support of the Planck 2015 results. FFP8 consists of 10 fiducial mission realizations reduced to 18144 maps,…
Planck 2015 results. XVI. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +242
We test the statistical isotropy and Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies using observations made by the Planck satellite. Our results are based mainly…
Planck intermediate results. XXXVIII. E- and B-modes of dust polarization from the magnetized filamentary structure of the interstellar medium
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +192
The quest for a B-mode imprint from primordial gravity waves on the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) requires the characterization of foreground polarization f…
Planck 2015 results. IX. Diffuse component separation: CMB maps
Planck Collaboration, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +236
We present foreground-reduced CMB maps derived from the full Planck data set in both temperature and polarization. Compared to the corresponding Planck 2013 temperature sky maps, t…
Planck 2015 results. XX. Constraints on inflation
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +244
We present the implications for cosmic inflation of the Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies in both temperature and polarization based on the…
Planck 2015 results. XIV. Dark energy and modified gravity
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +232
We study the implications of Planck data for models of dark energy (DE) and modified gravity (MG), beyond the cosmological constant scenario. We start with cases where the DE only…
