Doctoral candidate Håvard Tveit Ihle at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Bayesian Data Analysis for Intensity Mapping and CMB Experiments" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Florian Beutler, Institute for Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh.
"My research goal? Constraining cosmological and gravitational models and discovering the nature of dark energy".
Delivering state-of-the-art observations of the microwave sky from 30 to 70 GHz for the next decade.
This BeyondPlanck paper presents new images of polarized emission from astrophysical sky components using never before combined data sets with a brand new approach.
Instrumental calibration is vital for the results of a CMB experiment to make sense. But how can we calibrate the instrument using measurements that we ideally need to calibrate the instrument to measure properly?
The BeyondPlanck collaboration has performed the most detailed analysis of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) data to date, leading to a cleaner view of both the early universe and our own Milky Way.
Map-making of the Cosmic Microwave Background is an essential step that produces colourful 2D maps of the footprint of the early universe. Here cosmologists set the basis for the innovative map-making algorithm employed in BeyondPlanck.
The BeyondPlanck collaboration chases faint signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), an echo from the Big Bang, with this novel approach.
"Norway is an incredibly beautiful country for its particularly supportive education system."
PICO is a CMB satellite proposed as one of NASAs big missions to be launched in the late 20's or early 30's.
"Since I did both my bachelor’s and master’s degree at UiO, and then decided on doing a PhD here, it might be easy to tell that I like Oslo and ITA a lot."
"From early age I've always loved the stars, and Astrophysics has always been my favourite part of physics."
"The ability to do world class research and collaborate with other European researchers while at the same time experiencing a new culture is what really drew me to Oslo."
