Addressing Synchrotron Challenges for CMB Observations: ELFS-SA Collaboration for Robust Foreground Removal
E. de la Hoz, A. Mennella, K. Arnold +17
Upcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments aim to detect primordial gravitational waves with unprecedented sensitivity. Effective foreground removal is essential to avo…
On beam characterization of ground-based CMB radio telescopes using UAV-mounted sources: application to the QUIJOTE TFGI and plans for LSPE-Strip
Fabio Paonessa, Lorenzo Ciorba, Giuseppe Addamo +22
The Large Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) project, funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), includes the development of LSPE-Strip, a ground-based radio telescope for observing…
The LSPE-Strip Pointing Reconstruction and Star Tracker
Michele Maris, Maurizio Tomasi, Matteo Baratto +18
This paper aims to describe the Pointing Reconstruction Model (PRM) and the prototype Star Tracker, which will be mounted on LSPE-Strip, a microwave Q- and W-band CMB telescope pla…
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…
