The all-sky 408 MHz map of Haslam et al. is one the most important total-power radio surveys. It has been widely used to study diffuse synchrotron radiation from our Galaxy and as a template remove foregrounds in cosmic microwave background data. However, there are number issues associated with it that must be dealt with, including large-scale striations contamination extragalactic sources. We have re-evaluated reprocessed rawest data available produce new improved 408-MHz map. first...

Precision spectroscopy, possible with existing technology, would provide key tests for expected within cosmological standard model and open an enormous discovery space to new physics. This offers scientific furthering our understanding inflation, recombination, reionization structure formation as well dark...
The 'Internal Linear Combination' (ILC) component separation method has been extensively used to extract a single component, the CMB, from WMAP multifrequency data. We generalise ILC approach for separating other millimetre astrophysical emissions. construct in particular multidimensional filter, which can be used, instance, estimate diffuse emission of complex originating multiple correlated emissions, such as total Galactic interstellar medium. performance generalised methods, implemented...
The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is a proposed probe-scale space mission consisting an imaging polarimeter operating in frequency bands between 20 800 GHz. We describe the science achievable by PICO, which has sensitivity equivalent to more than 3300 Planck missions, technical implementation, schedule cost.
The measurement of the large-scale B-mode polarization in cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a fundamental goal future CMB experiments. However, because unprecedented sensitivity, experiments will be much more sensitive to any imperfect modelling Galactic foreground reconstruction primordial signal. We compare sensitivity B-modes different concepts satellite missions (LiteBIRD, COrE, COrE+, PRISM, EPIC, PIXIE) presence foregrounds. In particular, we quantify impact on tensor-to-scalar...
Galactic foregrounds are the main obstacle to observations of cosmic microwave background (CMB) $B$-mode polarization. In addition obscuring inflationary signal by several orders magnitude, have non-trivial spectral signatures that partially unknown and distorted averaging effects along line-of-sight, within pixel/beam window, various analysis choices (e.g., spherical harmonic transforms filters).

Abstract We study the possibility of using LiteBIRD satellite B -mode survey to constrain models inflation producing specific features in CMB angular power spectra. explore a particular model example, i.e. spectator axion-SU(2) gauge field inflation. This can source parity-violating gravitational waves from amplification fluctuations driven by pseudoscalar “axionlike” field, rolling for few e-folds during The sourced exceed vacuum contribution at reionization bump scales about an order...
The 'Internal Linear Combination' (ILC) component separation method has been extensively used on the data of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) space mission, to extract a single component, cosmic microwave background (CMB), from WMAP multifrequency data. We extend ILC approach for reconstructing millimetre astrophysical emissions beyond CMB alone. In particular, we construct constrained maps both and thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich (SZ) effect, with vanishing contamination other....
We demonstrate that, for the baseline design of CORE satellite mission, polarized foregrounds can be controlled at level required to allow detection primordial cosmic microwave background (CMB) B-mode polarization with desired accuracy both reionization and recombination scales, tensor-to-scalar ratio values r≳ 5× 10−3. consider detailed sky simulations based on state-of-the-art CMB observations that consist τ=0.055 ranging from r=10−2 10−3, Galactic synchrotron, thermal dust variable...
Lensing of the CMB is now a well-developed probe large-scale clustering over broad range redshifts. By exploiting non-Gaussian imprints lensing in polarization CMB, CORE mission can produce clean map deflections nearly full-sky. The number high-S/N modes this will exceed current maps by factor 40, and measurement be sample-variance limited on all scales where linear theory valid. Here, we summarise product discuss science that it enable. For example, summed mass neutrinos determined to an...

Nevertheless, a minimal deviation from Gaussianityis perhaps most robust theoretical prediction models explain Universe; itis necessarily present even...
Abstract We present a study of the impact beam far side-lobe lack knowledge on measurement Cosmic Microwave Background B -mode signal at large scale. Beam side-lobes induce mismatch in transfer function Galactic foregrounds between dipole and higher multipoles which degrads performances component separation methods. This leads to foreground residuals CMB map. It is expected be one main source systematic effects future polarization observations. Thus, it becomes crucial for all-sky survey...
H i intensity mapping is an emerging tool to probe dark energy. Observations of the redshifted signal will be contaminated by instrumental noise, atmospheric and Galactic foregrounds. The latter expected four orders magnitude brighter than emission we wish detect. We present a simulation single-dish observations including noise model with 1/f white sky diffuse foreground emission. consider two cleaning methods: spectral parametric fitting principal component analysis. For smooth frequency...

Abstract Upcoming Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments, aimed at measuring primordial CMB polarization B-modes, require exquisite control of instrumental systematics and Galactic foreground contamination. Blind minimum-variance techniques, like the Needlet Internal Linear Combination (NILC), have proven effective in reconstructing signal mitigating foregrounds across diverse sky models without suffering from mismodelling errors. Still, residual contamination NILC may bias recovered...

Abstract Stacking the public Planck CMB temperature maps (NILC, SMICA, SEVEM, Commander) on galaxy clusters from catalogues reveals substantial residual contamination thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) emission. Unexpectedly, stacking ”tSZ-free” maps, like SMICA-noSZ or Constrained ILC (CILC) still shows noticeable clusters. We demonstrate that this persisting stems neglected relativistic SZ (rSZ) corrections in map estimation. Employing a component-separation method specifically designed for...
