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…
The CMB Power Spectrum from the Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope (BEAST) Experiment
Ian J. O'Dwyer, Marco Bersanelli, Jeffrey Childers +19
The Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope (BEAST) is a 2.2m off-axis telescope with an 8 element mixed Q (38-45GHz) and Ka (26-36GHz) band focal plane, designed for bal…
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…
