SECOND AND THIRD SEASON QUaD COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND TEMPERATURE AND POLARIZATION POWER SPECTRA
We report results from the second and third seasons of observation with the QUaD experiment. Angular power spectra of the cosmic microwave background are derived for both temperature and polarization at both 100 GHz and 150 GHz, and as cross-frequency spectra. All spectra are subjected to an extensive set of jackknife tests to probe for possible systematic contamination. For the implemented dat...
متن کاملFIRST SEASON QUaD CMB TEMPERATURE AND POLARIZATION POWER SPECTRA
QUaD is a bolometric CMB polarimeter sited at the South Pole, operating at frequencies of 100 and 150 GHz. In this paper we report preliminary results from the first season of operation (austral winter 2005). All six CMB power spectra are presented derived as cross spectra between the 100 and 150 GHz maps using 67 days of observation in a low foreground region of approximately 60 deg. These dat...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Temperature and Polarization Anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background with Quad
This thesis paper describes QUaD, a millimetric polarimeter designed to precisely measure the temperature and polarization anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. QUaD was built and integrated between 2000 and 2004, and commissioned at the south pole in the austral summer of 2004/2005. First light was achieved in February 2005, and QUaD acquired a full austral winter of...
متن کاملCosmic Microwave Background Polarization
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy is our richest source of cosmological information; the standard cosmological model was largely established thanks to study of the temperature anisotropies. By the end of the decade, the Planck satellite will close this important chapter and move us deeper into the new frontier of polarization measurements. Numerous ground–based and balloon–borne expe...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background: polarization and temperature anisotropies from symmetric structures
Perturbations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) are generated by primordial inhomogeneities. I consider the case of CMB anisotropies from one single ordered perturbation source, or seed, existing well before decoupling between matter and radiation. Such structures could have been left by high energy symmetries breaking in the early universe. I focus on the cases of spherical and cylindri...
