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…
Unbiased Estimation of an Angular Power Spectrum
G. Polenta, D. Marinucci, A. Balbi +5
We discuss the derivation of the analytic properties of the cross-power spectrum estimator from multi-detector CMB anisotropy maps. The method is computationally convenient and it…
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…
Maps of the millimetre sky from the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, A. Balbi +38
In the 1998-99 flight, BOOMERanG has produced maps of of the sky at high Galactic latitudes, at frequencies of 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz, with resolution $\simgt 10'$. Th…
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…
In-flight main beam reconstruction for Planck-LFI
C. Burigana, P. Natoli, N. Vittorio +2
In-flight measurement of the antenna main beams of the Planck instruments is a crucial input to the data analysis pipeline. We study the main beam reconstruction achievable through…
