CMB polarimetry with BICEP: instrument characterization, calibration, and performance
Yuki D. Takahashi, Denis Barkats, John O. Battle +22
BICEP is a ground-based millimeter-wave bolometric array designed to target the primordial gravity wave signature on the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at de…
Making Maps from Planck LFI 30GHz Data with Asymmetric Beams and Cooler Noise
M. A. J. Ashdown, C. Baccigalupi, J. G. Bartlett +21
The Planck satellite will observe the full sky at nine frequencies from 30 to 857 GHz. The goal of this paper is to examine the effects of four realistic instrument systematics in…
CMB Polarization Systematics Due to Beam Asymmetry: Impact on Inflationary Science
Meir Shimon, Brian Keating, Nicolas Ponthieu +1
CMB polarization provides a unique window into cosmological inflation; the amplitude of the B-mode polarization from last scattering is uniquely sensitive to the energetics of infl…
Searching for non Gaussian signals in the BOOMERanG 2003 CMB maps
G. De Troia, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +38
We analyze the BOOMERanG 2003 (B03) 145 GHz temperature map to constrain the amplitude of a non Gaussian, primordial contribution to CMB fluctuations. We perform a pixel space anal…
Making Maps from Planck LFI 30GHz Data
M. A. J. Ashdown, C. Baccigalupi, A. Balbi +16
This paper is one of a series describing the performance and accuracy of map-making codes as assessed by the Planck CTP working group. We compare the performance of multiple codes…
Making sky maps from Planck data
M. A. J. Ashdown, C. Baccigalupi, A. Balbi +15
We compare the performance of multiple codes written by different groups for making polarized maps from Planck-sized, all-sky cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. Three of the c…
