Study of the Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology (EPIC)-Intemediate Mission for NASA's Einstein Inflation Probe (2009)

Bock, James, Aljabri, Abdullah, Amblard, Alex, Baumann, Daniel, Betoule, Marc, Chui, Talso, ...

Measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy have served as the best experimental probe of the early universe to date. The inflationary paradigm, inspired in part by the extreme...

A complete view of galaxy evolution: panchromatic luminosity functions and the generation of metals (2009)

Blain, Andrew W., Armus, Lee, Bertoldi, Frank, Bock, James, Bradford, Matt, Dowell, C. Darren, ...

When and how did galaxies form and their metals accumulate? Over the last decade, this has moved from an archeological question to a live investigation: there is now a broad picture of the evolution...

A New Era in Extragalactic Background Light Measurements: The Cosmic History of Accretion, Nucleosynthesis and Reionization (2009)

Cooray, Asantha, Amblard, Alexandre, Beichman, Charles, Benford, Dominic, Bernstein, Rebecca, Bock, James, ...

(Brief Summary) What is the total radiative content of the Universe since the epoch of recombination? The extragalactic background light (EBL) spectrum captures the redshifted energy released from...

The Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology (EPIC): A Mission Concept Study for NASA's Einstein Inflation Probe (2008)

Bock, James, Cooray, Asantha, Hanany, Shaul, Keating, Brian, Lee, Adrian, Matsumura, Tomotake, ...

This is the Phase 1 Report on the Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology (EPIC), a mission concept study for NASA's Einstein Inflation Probe. When we began our study we sought to answer five...

The experimental probe of inflationary cosmology : a mission concept study for NASA’s Einstein Inflation Probe (2008)

Alex Amblard, Beichman, Charles, Bock, James, Caldwell, Robert, Carlstrom, John, Church, Sarah, ...

When we began our study we sought to answer five fundamental implementation questions: 1) can foregrounds be measured and subtracted to a sufficiently low level?; 2) can systematic errors be...

Task Force on Cosmic Microwave Background Research (2006)

Bock, James, Church, Sarah, Devlin, Mark, Hinshaw, Gary, Lange, Andrew, Lee, Adrian, ...

One of the most spectacular scientific breakthroughs in past decades was using measurements of the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to test precisely our understanding of the...

The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (2005)

Bock, James, Battle, John, Cooray, Asantha, Kawada, Mitsunobu, Keating, Brian, Lange, Andrew, ...

We are developing a rocket-borne instrument (the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment, or CIBER) to search for signatures of primordial galaxy formation in the cosmic near-infrared extra-galactic...
