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…
In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
Analysis of Polarized Dust Emission Using Data from the First Flight of SPIDER
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +67
Using data from the first flight of SPIDER and from Planck HFI, we probe the properties of polarized emission from interstellar dust in the SPIDER observing region. Component separ…
LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts. A Case Study of the Origin of Primordial Gravitational Waves using Large-Scale CMB Polarization
P. Campeti, E. Komatsu, C. Baccigalupi +107
We study the possibility of using the satellite -mode survey to constrain models of inflation producing specific features in CMB angular power spectra. We explore a p…
Thermal architecture for a cryogenic super-pressure balloon payload: design and development of the Taurus flight cryostat
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
We describe the cryogenic system being developed for Taurus: a super-pressure balloon-borne microwave polarimeter scheduled to fly in 2027. The Taurus cryogenic system consists of…
