We present a method for beam deconvolution for cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy measurements. The code takes as input the time-ordered data, along with the corresponding detector pointings and known beam shapes, and produces as output the harmonic a_Tlm, a_Elm, and a_Blm coefficients of the observed sky. From these one can further construct temperature and Q and U polarisation maps. The method is applicable to absolute CMB measurements with wide sky coverage, and is independent of the scanning strategy. We test the code with extensive simulations, mimicking the resolution and data volume of Planck 30GHz and 70GHz channels, but with exaggerated beam asymmetry. We apply it to multipoles up to l=1700 and examine the results in both pixel space and harmonic space. We also test the method also in presence of white noise.
We present an analysis of the effects of beam deconvolution on noise properties in CMB measurements. The analysis is built around the artDeco beam deconvolver code. We derive a low-resolution noise covariance matrix that describes the residual noise
We present two novel methods for the estimation of the angular power spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We assume an absolute CMB experiment with arbitrary asymmetric beams and arbitrary sky coverage. The methods differ from
POLARBEAR-2 (PB-2) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiment that will be located in the Atacama highland in Chile at an altitude of 5200 m. Its science goals are to measure the CMB polarization signals originating from both prim
Spectral distortions of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) offer the possibility of probing processes which occurred during the evolution of our Universe going back up to Z$simeq 10^7$. Unfortunately all the attempts so far carried out for detecti
[Abridged] The measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation is one of the current frontiers in cosmology. In particular, the detection of the primordial B-modes, could reveal the presence of gravitational waves in the
