Constraints on Primordial Non-Gaussianity from a Needlet Analysis of the WMAP-5 Data
Davide Pietrobon, Paolo Cabella, Amedeo Balbi +2
We look for a non-Gaussian signal in the WMAP 5-year temperature anisotropy maps by performing a needlet-based data analysis. We use the foreground-reduced maps obtained by the WMA…
A Measurement of the Angular Power Spectrum of the CMB Temperature Anisotropy from the 2003 Flight of Boomerang
W. C. Jones, P Ade, J Bock +34
We report on observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) obtained during the January 2003 flight of Boomerang . These results are derived from 195 hours of observation wi…
Measuring CMB Polarization with BOOMERANG
T. Montroy, P. A. R. Ade, A. Balbi +38
BOOMERANG is a balloon-borne telescope designed for long duration (LDB) flights around Antarctica. The second LDB Flight of BOOMERANG took place in January 2003. The primary goal o…
CMB Power Spectrum Estimation for the Planck Surveyor
A. Balbi, G. de Gasperis, P. Natoli +1
We use an iterative generalized least squares map-making algorithm, in conjunction with Monte Carlo techniques, to obtain estimates of the angular power spectrum from cosmic microw…
The BOOMERanG experiment and the curvature of the Universe
S. Masi, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
We describe the BOOMERanG experiment and its main result, i.e. the measurement of the large scale curvature of the Universe. BOOMERanG is a balloon-borne microwave telescope with s…
Search for non-gaussian signals in the BOOMERanG maps: pixel-space analysis
G. Polenta, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +28
We search the BOOMERanG maps of the anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) for deviations from gaussianity. In this paper we focus on analysis techniques in pixel-spac…
CMB Polarization: Scientific Case and Data Analysis Issues
A. Balbi, P. Cabella, G. de Gasperis +2
We review the science case for studying CMB polarization. We then discuss the main issues related to the analysis of forth-coming polarized CMB data, such as those expected from ba…
Non-iterative methods to estimate the in-flight noise properties of CMB detectors
P. Natoli, D. Marinucci, P. Cabella +2
We present a new approach for statistical inference on noise properties of CMB anisotropy data. We consider a Maximum Likelihood parametric estimator to recover the full dependence…
A Map-Making Algorithm for the Planck Surveyor
P. Natoli, G. de Gasperis, C. Gheller +1
We present a parallel implementation of a map-making algorithm for CMB anisotropy experiments which is both fast and efficient. We show for the first time a Maximum Likelihood, min…
First results from the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
We report the first results from the BOOMERanG experiment, which mapped at 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz a wide (3%) region of the microwave sky with minimal local contamination. From t…
A Flat Universe from High-Resolution Maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +33
The blackbody radiation left over from the Big Bang has been transformed by the expansion of the Universe into the nearly isotropic 2.73K Cosmic Microwave Background. Tiny inhomoge…
A measurement of Omega from the North American test flight of BOOMERANG
A. Melchiorri, P. A. R. Ade, P. de Bernardis +22
We use the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background, measured during the North American test flight of the BOOMERANG experiment, to constrain the geometry of the u…
