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…
A cross-calibration approach for polarisation-sensitive detectors in CMB experiments: application to LiteBIRD's polarisation angle calibration
A. Novelli, F. Piacentini, S. Micheli +102
One of the current challenges in observational cosmology is obtaining high-precision polarisation maps of the CMB to measure primordial -modes and constrain the tensor-to-scalar…
Status of the COSmological Microwave Observations CALibrator
L. Mousset, J. Aumont, S. Berta +33
As the sensitivity of CMB telescopes increases, the need for precise calibration becomes critical. Started in 2022, the COSMOCal project aims to place an artificial polarized sourc…
Systematic errors in spectral measurements with the Tenerife Microwave Spectrometer
A. M. Arriero-Lopez, J. A. Rubiño-MartÃn, F. Cuttaia +2
We present an analytical instrument model of the TMS radiometer, a pseudo-correlation system designed for absolute sky-temperature measurements through a continuous comparison betw…
Mitigating half-wave plate systematics at the map-making level: calibration requirements for LiteBIRD
N. Raffuzzi, A. Carones, M. Monelli +101
Although half-wave plates (HWPs) are becoming a popular choice of polarization modulators for cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, their non-idealities can introduce syst…
First release of LiteBIRD simulations from an end-to-end pipeline
M. Bortolami, N. Raffuzzi, L. Pagano +107
The LiteBIRD satellite mission aims at detecting Cosmic Microwave Background modes with unprecedented precision, targeting a total error on the tensor-to-scalar ratio of $Î…
