• There are additional AGNs lost in the confusion of the CMB fluctuations.
• The WOMBAT catalogue and tools predict quite well the flux observed for the 3 detected
AGN, and can be used to estimate the contamination due to unresolved AGNs.
• In the 3% of the sky mapped by B98 the contamination of the PS at 150 GHz is less than 0.3% at l=200, and less than 8% at l=600.
• This is reduced by 50% if the resolved sources (at 150 GHz) are removed, and by 80% if
are removed those resolved at 41 GHz.

What is the CMB: An abundant background of photons filling the Universe.
• Generated in the very early
universe, less than 4 μs after the Big Bang from a small
asymmetry (resulting in 10
9γ for each baryon and no antibaryons)
• Thermalized in the primeval fireball by repeated scattering against free electrons, and
released when the universe cooled down enough to produce atoms and become transparent
(380000 yrs after the big bang) .
• Redshifted to microwave
frequencies (z
CMB=1100) and diluted in the subsequent 13.7 Gyrs of expansion of the Universe

The anisotropy: an image of the primeval fireball
• We should be able to see causal horizons in the image of the CMB.
• 380000 yrs after the big bang, regions separated by more than 380000 light years are not in causal contact yet.
• We see these regions from a distance of approximately 13.7 Glyrs, and the universe expanded by a factor 1100 since then, so we expect a typical angular size of the causal horizon of the order of 1°.
• Regions which have never been in causal contact before have a very similar physical temperature. Why ? Paradox of horizons.
• Need deeper observations, enhancing the contrast of the image.

The anisotropy: an image of the primeval fireball
• Different physical effects, all related to the small density fluctuations δρ / ρ present 380000 yrs after the big bang (recombination) produce CMB Temperature fluctuations:
• Scales larger than the horizon are basically frozen in the pre‐recombination era. Flat power spectrum of δ T/T at large scales.
• Scales smaller than the horizon undergo acoustic
oscillations during the primeval fireball. Acoustic peaks in the power spectrum of δ T/T at sub‐degree scales.

Pressure of photons
increases, resisting to the compression, and the perturbation bounces back
T is reduced enough that gravity wins again
Here photons are not tightly coupled to matter, and their pressure is not effective.
Perturbations can grow and form Galaxies.

The linear polarization: testing physics of the primeval fireball and near the big bang
• CMB photons were last scattered 380000 yrs after the big bang.
• It was a Thomson scattering.
• For a given scattering center, any quadrupole
anisotropy in the incoming photons produces linear polarization in the scattered photons.
• Two possible origins for quadrupole anisotropy:
– Density perturbations present at recombination
– Gravitational waves produced during the inflation process, a split‐second after the big‐bang (E=10
16GeV?)

Quantum fluctuations (pre‐inflation)
Density fluctuations (in the primeval fireball)
Inflation provides an explanation for the origin
of the density fluctuations producing CMB anisotropy
• If inflation really happened:
9 It stretched geometry of space to nearly Euclidean
9 It produced a nearly scale invariant spectrum of gaussian density
fluctuations
9 It produced a stochastic background of gravitational waves: Primordial G.W.
The background is so faint that even LISA will not be able to measure it.
• Tensor perturbations also produce
quadrupole anisotropy. They generate irrotational (E-modes) and rotational (B-modes) components in the CMB polarization field.
• Since B-modes are not produced by scalar fluctuations, they represent a signature of inflation.

• The amplitude of this effect is very small, but depends on the Energy scale of inflation. In fact the amplitude of
tensor modes normalized to the scalar ones is:

• There are theoretical arguments to expect that the
energy scale of inflation is close to the scale of GUT i.e.
around 10
16GeV.
• The current upper limit on anisotropy at large scales gives T/S<0.5 (at 2σ)
• A competing effect is lensing of E‐modes, which is important at large multipoles.

Planck is a very ambitious
experiment.
It carries a complex CMB experiment (the state of the art, a few years ago) all the way to L2, improving the sensitivity wrt WMAP by at least a factor 10,
extending the frequency
coverage towards high frequencies by a factor about 10

All-sky Sunyaev-Zeldovich clusters
• Planck multiband observations of SZ clusters (ESZ) over the full sky: 189 high quality cluster candidates detected
• The clusters in the ESZ sample are mostly at moderate redshifts lying between z=0.01 and z=0.55, with 86% of them below z=0.3. The ESZ-cluster masses span over a decade from 0.9 to 15 × 10

sol, i.e. up to the highest masses.

Filaments
• Half of the baryons known to be present in the universe (from nucleosynthesis estimates) are missing (i.e. have not been detected in emission, nor in absorbtion).
• A possible physical state of
baryons escaping detection in the radio, IR, visible, X rays domains, is a ionized medium with low density or warm temperature.
• In principle, this is detectable in the microwaves, because it
produces a SZ effect.
• The Planck survey, observing the whole sky, has also observed couples of galaxy clusters, and there is evidence for filaments of gas connecting two of the couples (astro‐ph/1208.5911). This is hot gas, probably heated by shocks, but the density is low, so X‐ray emission is also very low. It might be one step towards the solution of the missing baryons problem.

analyzed:
– 230 cluster candidates
– 158 with counterparts found in the follow‐up optical/IR

– 117 new discoveries (!) – Cluster masses estimated:
• Comparing to models:
– The number of clusters that formed over the history of the universe is sensitive to the mass of neutrinos and the influence of dark energy on the growth of cosmic structures.

The final solution: spectroscopic measurements of the SZ
• Requirements:
– Wide spectral coverage
(in principle 100 to 1000 GHz)
– Modest spectral resolution (λ/Δλ = 100 to 1000) – Differential input, high rejection of common mode
signal (CMB is common mode and is 2750000 μK, cluster signal is differential and can be as low as 10 μK).
– Imaging instrument
– Wide field of view to image the whole cluster and
have a clean reference area to compare
• In fig. 1 we show the OLIMPO balloon
payload (Masi et al.
2008), with solar
panels, ground shield and sun shield
removed.
• Note the tiltable 2.6m primary mirror and the lightweigth secondary.
• Pointing is obtained rotating the payload around an azimuth
pivot and changing the elevation of the inner frame, including the telescope, the FTS and the detector’s cryostat
• The total mass of the
payload is 1.5 tons.
The instrument is based on a double Martin Pupplett
Interferometer configuration to avoid the loss of half of the signal.
A wedge mirror splits the sky image in two halves IA and IB, used as input signals for both inputs of the two FTS’s.

Optical optimization has been performed using ZEMAXTM
software, optimizing the optical quality in the full FOV of
OLIMPO.
The instrument was designed to fit the available room in between the primary mirror and the cryostat, a 75x75x30 cm3 box.

observations from a single pixel of the OLIMPO-FTS, for an integration time of 3 hours. The two lines through the data points represent the input theory (thin) and the best fit for the plotted data realization (thick).
The other thin lines represent thermal plus non-thermal SZE, and dust emission.
this shift is due to the peculiar velocity of the cluster
