The image of the CMB
•
Mapping the CMB is very important, since
the properties of the image of the CMB are
determined by:
1) The physical processes happening in the
early Universe
2) The large scale geometry of the Universe
3) The expansion history of the Universe
Long Duration Balloon Flights
William Field, McMurdo, Ross-Sea
167o 5.76’E ; 77o 51.76’ S
• NASA-National Scientific
Balloons Facility (based in
Palestine-Texas), provides circumAntarctic long-duration balloon
flights during the Antarctic
summer. 37 km for 7-14 days.
• This enables long integrations,
wide sky coverage and extensive
tests for systematic effects,
through the repetition of
measurements under different
experimental conditions:
• Different locations: control ground
spillover
• Different day: control Sun in the
far sidelobes
• “day” vs “night”observations have
different scan directions on the
same area, producing crosslinked
maps.
The launch: Dec. 29, 1998

CMB anisotropy results:
images of the early Universe
The sky scan
• The image of the sky is obtained by
slowly scanning in azimuth (+30o) at
constant elevation
• The optimal scan speed is between 1
and 2 deg/s in azimuth
crosslink in BOOM ERanG LDB scans (1 scan/hour shown)
0-11h

• The scan center
constantly tracks the
azimuth of the lowest
foreground region
• Every day we obtain a
fully crosslinked map.

BOOMERanG: the MAP
• 1998:
BOOMERanG
mapped the
temperature
fluctuations of
the CMB at
sub-horizon
scales (<1O).
• The signal
was well
above the
noise:
2 indep. det.
at 150 GHz
The next BIG step:
CMB polarization measurements
Velocity fields in the early
Universe
The Polarization-sensitive
BOOMERanG: B2K
• BOOMERanG can give an important contribution to
CMB polarization research
• We have modified the focal plane after the
anisotropy flight of 1998 to accomodate
Polarization Sensitive Bolometers (PSB).
• We have flown the instrument in Jan. 2003 to
detect E-modes
• We plan to fly it again to detect E and B modes
polarization of the foreground from ISD at high
galactic latitudes.

BOOM03 Flight
Launched:
January 6, 2003
From:
McMurdo Station,
Antarctica
11.7 days of good data
Measurements OK
for 11.6 days
BOOMERanG landed
near Dome Fuji
(h=3700m) after 14
days of flight. The data
have been recovered
immediately . The
payload has been
recovered in Jan 2004.
BOOMERANG / B2K
Polarization measurements
Preliminary results
Optimal CMB anoisotropy maps obtained with IGLS, the Rome
pipeline (Natoli et al. 2001). The anisotropy signal is much larger than
the instrument noise. This is the CMB map with highest S/N ever.
For the polarization signal the problem is harder.
Shallow

noise

Next BOOMERANG:
B2K5
• We plan to re-fly B2K with an
upgraded focal plane, to go after
foreground cirrus dust polarization.
• This information is essential for all
the planned B-modes experiments
(e.g. BICEP, Dome-C etc.) and is very
difficult to measure from ground.
• The BOOMERanG optics can host an
array of >100 PSB at >350 GHz.

Possible Synergies on LDBs
• Technical subsystems:
– Attitude control (ACS) and reconstruction
– Power control (solar panels for daylight flights: experience
with BOOM and OLIMPO)
– Telemetry (Iridium-based global telemetry for moderate data
rates: experience with Pegaso – G.Romeo, 2400 bps; new
parallel system for higher throughput under development for
OLIMPO)
• Stratospheric background radiance from
– Archeops star sensor data

Attitude Control System (ACS)
Boomerang ha un beam di ~10 minuti d’arco. L’ACS deve garantire:
La ricostruzione della linea di
vista entro 1 arc-min rms
Massimizzare la copertura di
cielo
Sensori di posizione
Scansioni in azimut a velocità
costante
Controllare effetti sistematici:
•Gradienti di temp. sulle strutture
•Residuo atmosferico
Minimizzare i pendolamenti
per ridurre il segnale indotto dalla modulazione
dell’atmosfera

BOMERanG conta un volo di test, notturno, nel 1997 e quello
ANTARTICO, diurno, del ’98
Ci vogliono quindi due serie di sensori

Il Controllo
Un sistema completamente digitale permette grande versatilità
Raggi Cosmici possono indurre errori nell’elettronica
Due CPU 386 ridondanti:
• acquisiscono i sensori
• controllano i motori (controller PWM)
Un Watch Dog in pochi ms commuta il controllo fra le due CPU

Performance
Volo di test:
La telecamera stellare fornisce la posizione della navicella negli angoli di azimut,
elevazione e rollio entro 2 ar-min rms a 5 Hz
Su questa vengono integrati i tre giroscopi per la rimozione degli offset
Attitude reconstruction: migliore di 0.5 arc-min rms
Volo Anntartico:
Il Sensore Solare provvede un misura precisa e ripetibile di azimut ed
elevazione della navicella, tuttavia il segnale è difficile da calibrare
essendo dipendente sia dall’azimut che dall’elevazione del Sole
(accuratezza ~6 arc-min rms)
Per questo si integrano i tre giroscopi sul SS.
Il Giroscopio di roll fornisce il rollio ignoto al SS
Attitude reconstruction: migliore di 3 arc-min rms

Archeops Star Sensor
• A linear array of 46 photodiodes in the
focus of a 40cm f/5 telescope.
• Heavily baffled.
• Red filter to maximize stars to
atmosphere ratio.
• Attitude reconstruction: better than 1
arcmin.
• See Nati et al. RSI 74, 4169, 2003.
