Polarization Modulation with VPMs on the CLASS

Telescopes

Katie Harrington

CMB foreground for B-mode Studies Tenerife October 2018

CLASS is targeting the Largest

Angular Scales on

the Sky

Planck “pre2016”

𝜏 = 0.055 WMAP9

𝜏 = 0.083

E-modes

B-modes

E-mode Large Angular Scales

 Optical Depth to Reionization B-mode Large Angular Scales

 Inflationary Gravitational Waves

VPMs

Installed!

K. Harrington et. al. 1807.03807

40 GHz VPM:

350 million cycles during

our first observing era!

(7)

How much are the VPMs Helping?

• Use 14,129 segments of 2 hours of data

• Between Sept. 2016 – Feb. 2018

• All 40 GHz Data

• Compare

• Pair Differenced Data

• Demodulated Pair Differenced Data

Median 1/f knee Reduced by 20x

with Demodulation

We are achieving space-like stability

from the ground.

Weather has slight effect on 1/f knee

9291 Segments overlap with PWV Data

available from APEX See slight increase in 1/f knee with increased PWV

Caveat – this is 40 GHz data.

Error bars – interquartile range CLASS 90 GHz is on

sky now, stay tuned!

Summary

• Front-end VPMs are enabling space-like instrument stability from the ground.

• One of the key requirements for CLASS to map the largest angular scales of the CMB polarization has been

achieved

• See Joseph Eimer’s talk on Wednesday for more results!
