Planck intermediate results. XX. Comparison of polarized thermal emission from Galactic dust with simulations of MHD turbulence

Peter A. R. Ade, +227 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared Planck HFI observations with simulations of anisotropic magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) turbulence in which they assume a uniform intrinsic polarization fraction of the dust grains.

The Simons Observatory: Astro2020 Decadal Project Whitepaper

Maximilian H. Abitbol, +281 more
TL;DR: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment sited on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert in Chile that promises to provide breakthrough discoveries in fundamental physics, cosmology, and astrophysics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Planck-LFI radiometers' spectral response

TL;DR: In this article, the measured band shape of all the LFI channels and the methods adopted for their estimation were discussed, and the spectral characterization of each radiometer was obtained by combining the measured spectral response of individual units through a dedicated RF model of the low frequency instrument receiver scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noise properties of the Planck-LFI receivers

TL;DR: The Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) radiometers have been tested extensively during several dedicated campaigns as mentioned in this paper, and the LFI receivers exhibit exceptional 1/f noise, and their white noise performance is sufficient for the science goals of Planck.

Planck intermediate results. LIV. The Planck Multi-frequency Catalogue of Non-thermal Sources

Yashar Akrami, +139 more
TL;DR: The Planck Multi-frequency Catalogue of Non-thermal (i.e. synchrotron-dominated) Sources (PCNT) observed between 30 and 857 GHz by the ESA Planck mission was constructed by selecting objects detected in the full-sky temperature maps at 30 and 143 GHz, with a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N)>3 in at least one of the two channels after filtering with a particular Mexican hat wavelet as discussed by the authors.
