Development and application of metamaterial-based half-wave plates for the NIKA and NIKA2 polarimeters

G. Pisano et al.

Summary: Large field-of-view imaging and polarimetry instruments operating at millimetre and sub-millimetre wavelengths are crucial tools for understanding the role of magnetic fields in the formation of interstellar material and studying the physical conditions of Active Galactic Nuclei. The NIKA2 camera installed at the IRAM 30-m telescope is one of the best tools available for astronomers to produce intensity and polarimetry maps over large fields.

Planck constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio

M. Tristram et al.

Summary: The study presents constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r using Planck data, with results indicating a stronger constraint on r through the BB angular power spectrum compared to the TT spectrum. The combination of Planck with BICEP2/Keck 2015 data yields an upper limit of r<0.044, demonstrating the accuracy and significance of the constraints obtained.

Probing frequency-dependent half-wave plate systematics for CMB experiments with full-sky beam convolution simulations

Adriaan J. Duivenvoorden et al.

Summary: This study investigates systematic effects of half-wave plates (HWPs) on cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments through full-sky time-domain beam convolution simulations. The research shows that different HWP configurations have varying impacts on the reconstruction of primordial B-mode polarization due to different frequency dependence. Additionally, realistic beam models may cause significant B-mode residuals that need to be extensively modeled in some cases, once interactions with HWPs are taken into account.

Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization as a Tool to Constrain the Optical Properties of the Universe

Margherita Lembo et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new formalism to describe the conversion between polarization states of radiation in the context of cosmology, known as the generalized Faraday effect (GFE). By applying this formalism to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarized anisotropy power spectra, the study provides insights into the potential implications of GFE on isotropy- and/or parity-violating physics. The research highlights the possibility of GFE inducing the conversion of linear polarization into circular polarization, and suggests observational bounds on GFE-induced CMB circularly polarized power spectrum.
