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…
Galactic Science with the LiteBIRD satellite: Spectral characterization of diffuse Galactic polarized emission at the angular power spectrum level
S. Vinzl, J. Aumont, L. Vacher +108
Detection of primordial -mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from tensor perturbations generated during inflation is a major scientific goal of future CMB…
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…
Non-Gaussianity in SMICA
M. Citran, H. V. Tran, G. Patanchon +1
We develop a new formalism for the component separation method Spectral Matching Independent Component Analysis (SMICA) in order to include the information contained in the foregro…
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…
A Simulation Framework for the LiteBIRD Instruments
M. Tomasi, L. Pagano, A. Anand +111
LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of -mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission focused on primordial cosmo…
