A Model For Polarised Microwave Foreground Emission From Interstellar Dust
D. T. O'Dea, C. N. Clark, C. R. Contaldi +1
The upcoming generation of cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments face a major challenge in detecting the weak cosmic B-mode signature predicted as a product of primordial g…
SPIDER: Probing the Early Universe with a Suborbital Polarimeter
A. A. Fraisse, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +43
We evaluate the ability of SPIDER, a balloon-borne polarimeter, to detect a divergence-free polarization pattern ("B-modes") in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). In the inflat…
Spider Optimization II: Optical, Magnetic and Foreground Effects
D. T. O'Dea, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +43
Spider is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with degree-scale resolution over a large fraction of the sky. Spider…
