Recent Developments in Astrophysical and Cosmological Exploitation of Microwave Surveys
Khatri, Rishi; Pointecouteau, Etienne; Toffolatti, Luigi +13 more
In this paper, we focus on the astrophysical results and the related cosmological implications derived from recent microwave surveys, with emphasis to those coming from the Planck mission. We critically discuss the impact of systematic effects and the role of methods to separate the cosmic microwave background (CMB) signal from the astrophysical e…
The Planck Mission: Recent Results, Cosmological and Fundamental Physics Perspectives
Burigana, Carlo; Gruppuso, Alessandro; Natoli, Paolo +1 more
We provide a description of the latest status and performance of the Planck satellite, focusing on the final predicted sensitivity of Planck. The optimization of the observational strategy for the additional surveys following the nominal 15 months of integration (about two surveys) originally allocated and the limitation represented by astrophysic…
