The Planck Low Frequency Instrument
N. Mandolesi, C. Burigana, R. C. Butler +14
Planck is the third generation of mm-wave instruments designed for space observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies within the new Cosmic Vision 2020 ESA Sc…
Imaging the first light: experimental challenges and future perspectives in the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy
A. Mennella, C. Baccigalupi, A. Balbi +17
Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) allow high precision observation of the Last Scattering Surface at redshift 1100. After the success of the NASA satelli…
Advanced pseudo-correlation radiometers for the Planck-LFI instrument
A. Mennella, M. Bersanelli, R. C. Butler +34
The LFI (Low Frequency Instrument) on board the ESA Planck satellite is constituted by an array of radiometric detectors actively cooled at 20 K in the 30-70 GHz frequency range in…
Advanced simulation techniques for straylight prediction of high performance mm-wave reflecting telescope
M. Sandri, F. Villa, M. Bersanelli +3
The prediction of the antenna radiation pattern can be extremely complex for antenna system composed of several reflector surfaces. Typically, at mm-wavelengths, telescopes are com…
PLANCK/LFI: an Advanced Multi-beam High Performance mm-wave Optics for Space Applications
F. Villa, M. Sandri, M. Bersanelli +5
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) is one of the two instruments onboard the ESA PLANCK satellite foreseen to be launched in 2007. The LFI will image the Cosmic Microwave Backgroun…
A Map of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the BEAST Experiment
Peter R. Meinhold, Marco Bersanelli, Jeffrey Childers +24
We present the first sky maps from the BEAST (Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope) experiment. BEAST consists of a 2.2 meter off axis Gregorian telescope fed by a cry…
