The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
-sure I: Minkowski functionals as robustness test for tensor-to-scalar ratio detection from CMB observations
Claudio Ranucci, Alessandro Carones, Léo Vacher +2
The detection of primordial -mode polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a major observational goal in modern Cosmology, offering a potential window into infla…
How bad could it be? Modelling the 3D complexity of the polarised dust signal using moment expansion
Léo Vacher, Alessandro Carones, Jonathan Aumont +5
The variation of the physical conditions across the three dimensions of our Galaxy is a major source of complexity for the modelling of the foreground signal facing the cosmic micr…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
