  • Updated Design of the CMB Polarization Experiment Satellite Litebird
    Journal of Low Temperature Physics (2020) 199:1107–1117 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10909-019-02329-w Updated Design of the CMB Polarization Experiment Satellite LiteBIRD H. Sugai, et al. [full author details at the end of the article] Received: 30 August 2019 / Accepted: 26 December 2019 / Published online: 27 January 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Recent developments of transition-edge sensors (TESs), based on extensive experi- ence in ground-based experiments, have been making the sensor techniques mature enough for their application on future satellite cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments. LiteBIRD is in the most advanced phase among such future satellites, targeting its launch in Japanese Fiscal Year 2027 (2027FY) with JAXA’s H3 rocket. It will accommodate more than 4000 TESs in focal planes of refective low-frequency and refractive medium-and-high-frequency telescopes in order to detect a signature imprinted on the CMB by the primordial gravitational waves predicted in cosmic infation. The total wide frequency coverage between 34 and 448 GHz enables us to extract such weak spiral polarization patterns through the precise subtraction of our Galaxy’s foreground emission by using spectral dif- ferences among CMB and foreground signals. Telescopes are cooled down to 5 K for suppressing thermal noise and contain polarization modulators with transmis- sive half-wave plates at individual apertures for separating sky polarization signals from artifcial polarization and for mitigating from instrumental 1/f noise. Passive cooling by using V-grooves supports active cooling with mechanical coolers as well as adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators. Sky observations from the second Sun– Earth Lagrangian point, L2, are planned for 3 years.

Dunlap Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Toronto, 50 St George Street, Toronto ON, M5S 3H4, Canada The epoch of reionization is one of the major phase transitions in the history of the universe, and is a focus of ongoing and upcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments with im- proved sensitivity to small-scale fluctuations. Reionization also represents a significant contaminant to CMB-derived cosmological parameter constraints, due to the degeneracy between the Thomson- scattering optical depth, τ, and the amplitude of scalar perturbations, As. This degeneracy subse- quently hinders the ability of large-scale structure data to constrain the sum of the neutrino masses, a major target for cosmology in the 2020s. In this work, we explore the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect as a probe of reionization, and show that it can be used to mitigate the optical depth degeneracy with high-sensitivity, high-resolution data from the upcoming CMB-S4 experiment.

The LiteBIRD satellite will map the temperature and polarization anisotropies over the entire sky in 15 microwave frequency bands. These maps will be used to obtain a clean measurement of the primordial temperature and polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background in the multipole range 2 ` 200: The LiteBIRD sensitivity will be better than that of the ESA Planck satellite≤ by≤ at least an order of magnitude. This document summarizes some of the most exciting new science results anticipated from LiteBIRD. Under the conservatively defined \full success" criterion, LiteBIRD will 3 measure the tensor-to-scalar ratio parameter r with σ(r = 0) < 10− ; enabling either a discovery of primordial gravitational waves from inflation, or possibly an upper bound on r; which would rule out broad classes of inflationary models. Upon discovery, LiteBIRD will distinguish between two competing origins of the gravitational waves; namely, the quantum vacuum fluctuation in spacetime and additional matter fields during inflation. We also describe how, under the \extra success" criterion using data external to Lite- BIRD, an even better measure of r will be obtained, most notably through \delensing" and improved subtraction of polarized synchrotron emission using data at lower frequen- cies. LiteBIRD will also enable breakthrough discoveries in other areas of astrophysics. We highlight the importance of measuring the reionization optical depth τ at the cosmic variance limit, because this parameter must be fixed in order to allow other probes to measure absolute neutrino masses.

  • Cosmic Microwave Background
    1 29. Cosmic Microwave Background 29. Cosmic Microwave Background Revised August 2019 by D. Scott (U. of British Columbia) and G.F. Smoot (HKUST; Paris U.; UC Berkeley; LBNL). 29.1 Introduction The energy content in electromagnetic radiation from beyond our Galaxy is dominated by the cosmic microwave background (CMB), discovered in 1965 [1]. The spectrum of the CMB is well described by a blackbody function with T = 2.7255 K. This spectral form is a main supporting pillar of the hot Big Bang model for the Universe. The lack of any observed deviations from a 7 blackbody spectrum constrains physical processes over cosmic history at redshifts z ∼< 10 (see earlier versions of this review). Currently the key CMB observable is the angular variation in temperature (or intensity) corre- lations, and to a growing extent polarization [2–4]. Since the first detection of these anisotropies by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite [5], there has been intense activity to map the sky at increasing levels of sensitivity and angular resolution by ground-based and balloon-borne measurements. These were joined in 2003 by the first results from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)[6], which were improved upon by analyses of data added every 2 years, culminating in the 9-year results [7]. In 2013 we had the first results [8] from the third generation CMB satellite, ESA’s Planck mission [9,10], which were enhanced by results from the 2015 Planck data release [11, 12], and then the final 2018 Planck data release [13, 14]. Additionally, CMB an- isotropies have been extended to smaller angular scales by ground-based experiments, particularly the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) [15] and the South Pole Telescope (SPT) [16].

  • New Year's Address January 4, 2017 Saku Tsuneta, Director General
    New Year’s Address January 4, 2017 Saku Tsuneta, Director General, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science Happy New Year, everyone. I hope most of the staff members of this institute have enjoyed their New Year’s vacation although it was not so long, and I am especially thankful to those people working hard in the critical phase of the Arase mission and those preparing for the launch of SS-520-4, including the support members of manufacturers. Successful launch of Arase and Epsilon launch vehicle In late December, we successfully launched ARASE, or the Exploration of energization and Radiation in Geospace (ERG) satellite, using the Epsilon-2 Launch Vehicle. It was a truly wonderful launch experience for all of us. The Epsilon launch vehicle was developed and launched under the management of the Space Technology Directorate I of JAXA. Hence, the Project Manager, Dr. Yasuhiro Morita led the overall program management and Mr. Takayuki Imoto acted as the sub-manager to command the frontline. I would like to say special thanks to both leaders and the project members of JAXA and ISAS who have been involved in this program. The second-stage rocket of Epsilon-2 has been newly developed to give it higher performance and a lower cost, and the launch capability has increased by about 30 percent from that of Epsilon-1. These newly developed technologies will be used in the solid rocket booster, SRB-3, of the H3 launch vehicle. Then, the SRB-3 booster will be used as the first-stage rocket of Epsilon launch vehicles.

JAXA will provide degree-scale B-mode polarization sourced by the polarization of the CMB. The goal is to measure the tensor- the launch vehicle, payload module, 4K cooler, and inflationary gravitational waves. A significant to-scalar ratio with a total uncertainty of �r<0.001. It will be LFT. The European consortium will provide the sub- detection would confirm inflation and aid in launched aboard JAXA’s H3 rocket in 2028 into an L2 orbit K cooler, MFT and HFT. Canada will supply the differentiating various models. The energy scale of where it will observe for three years. It will survey the full sky at warm readout system. The US hardware inflation and the amplitude of the degree-scale B- degree-angular scales in 15 frequency bands from 34 to 448 contributions will be the focal planes with integrated mode polarization are proportional to the tensor- GHz.
