摘要:

宇宙微波背景实验需要非常精确地测量入射辐射的偏振特性以实现其科学目标。因此,有必要正确表征这些仪器。然而,没有自然资源可以用于这一目的。为此,我们开发了用于宇宙学的PROTOtype校准源,PROTOCALC,这是为这些望远镜的90 GHz频段设计的校准源。该源是纯偏振的,并且偏振矢量的方向是已知的,精度优于0.1度。该来源于2022年5月首次飞行,显示出良好的效果

英文摘要:

Cosmic Microwave Background experiments need to measure polarization properties of the incoming radiation very accurately to achieve their scientific goals. As a result of that, it is necessary to properly characterize these instruments. However, there are not natural sources that can be used for this purpose. For this reason, we developed the PROTOtype CALibrator for Cosmology, PROTOCALC, which is a calibrator source designed for the 90GHz band of these telescopes. This source is purely polarized and the direction of the polarization vector is known with an accuracy better than 0.1deg. This source flew for the first time in May 2022 showing promising result
