Angular power spectrum of the FastICA cosmic microwave background component from Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope data (2007)

Donzelli, Simona, Maino, Davide, Bersanelli, Marco, Childers, Jeffrey, Figueiredo, Newton, Lubin, Philip M., ...

We present the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) component extracted with FastICA from the Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope (BEAST) data. BEAST is a...

Bayesian foreground analysis with CMB data (2007)

Eriksen, Hans Kristian, Dickinson, C., Lawrence, C.R., Baccigalupi, Carlo, Banday, A.J., Gorski, K.M., ...

The quality of CMB observations has improved dramatically in the last few years, and will continue to do so in the coming decade. Over a wide range of angular scales, the uncertainty due to...

Amplifier arrays for CMB polarization (2005)

Gaier, Todd, Lawrence, Charles R., Seiffert, Michael D., Wells, Mary M., Kangaslahti, Pekka, Dawson, Douglas

Cryogenic low noise amplifier technology has been successfully used in the study of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). MMIC (Monolithic Millimeter wave Integrated Circuit) technology makes the...

The CMB Power Spectrum from the Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope (BEAST) Experiment (2003)

O'Dwyer, Ian J., Bersanelli, Marco, Childers, Jeffrey, Figueiredo, Newton, Halevi, Doron, Huey, Gregory G., ...

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 balloon borne and...

A Map of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the BEAST Experiment (2003)

Meinhold, Peter R., Bersanelli, Marco, Childers, Jeffrey, Figueiredo, Newton, Gaier, Todd C., Halevi, Doron, ...

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 cryogenic millimeter...

Direct Imaging of the CMB from Space (1996)

Janssen, Michael A., Scott, Douglas, White, Martin, Seiffert, Michael D., Lawrence, Charles R., Gorski, Krzysztof M., ...

Fundamental information about the Universe is encoded in anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. To make full use of this information, an experiment must image the entire sky...
