Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: Extragalactic sources in Cosmic Microwave Background maps
G. De Zotti, J. Gonzalez-Nuevo, M. Lopez-Caniego +121
We discuss the potential of a next generation space-borne Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiment for studies of extragalactic sources. Our analysis has particular bearing on…
Planck intermediate results. XLVI. Reduction of large-scale systematic effects in HFI polarization maps and estimation of the reionization optical depth
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Ashdown +170
This paper describes the identification, modelling, and removal of previously unexplained systematic effects in the polarization data of the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI)…
The Planck legacy - Reinforcing the case for a standard model of cosmology: CDM
Nazzareno Mandolesi, Diego Molinari, Alessandro Gruppuso +2
We present a brief review of the main results of the Planck 2015 release describing the new calibration of the data, showing the maps delivered in temperature and, for the first ti…
Planck intermediate results. XLIX. Parity-violation constraints from polarization data
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Ashdown +148
Parity violating extensions of the standard electromagnetic theory cause in vacuo rotation of the plane of polarization of propagating photons. This effect, also known as cosmic bi…
Constraints on parity violation from ACTpol and forecasts for forthcoming CMB experiments
Diego Molinari, Alessandro Gruppuso, Paolo Natoli
We use the ACTpol published cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization data to constrain cosmological birefringence, a tracer of parity violation beyond the standard model of p…
A note on the birefringence angle estimation in CMB data analysis
Alessandro Gruppuso, Gianmarco Maggio, Diego Molinari +1
Parity violating physics beyond the standard model of particle physics induces a rotation of the linear polarization of photons. This effect, also known as cosmological birefringen…
Planck intermediate results. XLIV. The structure of the Galactic magnetic field from dust polarization maps of the southern Galactic cap
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. I. R. Alves +165
We study the statistical properties of interstellar dust polarization at high Galactic latitude, using the Stokes parameter Planck maps at 353 GHz. Our aim is to advance the unders…
