Lensing reconstruction from PLANCK sky maps: inhomogeneous noise (2009)
Hanson, Duncan, Rocha, Graca, Gorski, Krzysztof
We discuss the effects of inhomogeneous sky-coverage on CMB lens reconstruction, focusing on application to the recently launched Planck satellite. We discuss the mean-field which is induced by noise...
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...
Observing the Evolution of the Universe (2009)
Aguirre, James, Amblard, Alexandre, Ashoorioon, Amjad, Baccigalupi, Carlo, Balbi, Amedeo, Bartlett, James, ...
How did the universe evolve? The fine angular scale (l>1000) temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB are a Rosetta stone for understanding the evolution of the universe. Through detailed...
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...
All-sky convolution for polarimetry experiments (2000)
Challinor, Anthony, Fosalba, Pablo, Mortlock, Daniel, Ashdown, Mark, Wandelt, Benjamin, Gorski, Krzysztof
We discuss all-sky convolution of the instrument beam with the sky signal in polarimetry experiments, such as the Planck mission which will map the temperature anisotropy and polarization of the...
