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…
Current Status and Perspectives of Cosmic Microwave Background Observations
Marco Bersanelli, Davide Maino, Aniello Mennella
Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation provide a unique opportunity for a direct study of the primordial cosmic plasma at redshift z ~1000. The angular pow…
The Low Frequency Instrument in the ESA Planck mission
A. Mennella, M. Bersanelli, B. Cappellini +8
Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) allow high precision observation of the cosmic plasma at redshift z~1100. After the success of the NASA satellite COBE, that i…
Optimized in-flight absolute calibration for extended CMB surveys
B. Cappellini, D. Maino, G. Albetti +4
Accurate measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy call for high precision and reliability of the in-flight calibration. For extended surveys the CMB dipole…
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…
The effect of signal digitisation in CMB experiments
M. Maris, D. Maino, C. Burigana +3
Signal digitisation may produce significant effects in balloon - borne or space CMB experiments, since the limited bandwidth for downlink of data requires imposes a large quantisat…
