Abstract

In the quest for the faint primordial B-mode polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, three are the key requirements for any present or future experiment: an utmost sensitivity, excellent control over instrumental systematic effects and over Galactic foreground contamination. Bolometric Interferometry (BI) is a novel technique that matches them all by combining the sensitivity of bolometric detectors, the control of instrumental systematics from interferometry and a software-based, tunable, in-band spectral resolution due to its ability to perform band-splitting during data analysis (spectral imaging). In this paper, we investigate how the spectral imaging capability of BI can help in detecting residual contamination in case an over-simplified model of foreground emission is assumed in the analysis. To mimic this situation, we focus on the next generation of ground-based CMB experiment, CMB-S4, and compare its anticipated sensitivities, frequency and sky coverage with a hypothetical version of the same experiment based on BI, CMB-S4/BI, assuming that line-of-sight (LOS) frequency decorrelation is present in dust emission but is not accounted for during component separation. We show results from a Monte-Carlo analysis based on a parametric component separation method (FGBuster), highlighting how BI has the potential to diagnose the presence of foreground residuals in estimates of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ in the case of unaccounted Galactic dust LOS frequency decorrelation., Comment: To appear in Proc. of the mm Universe 2023 conference, Grenoble (France), June 2023, published by F.

Abstract

Astrophysical polarized foregrounds represent the most critical challenge in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) B-mode experiments. Multi-frequency observations can be used to constrain astrophysical foregrounds to isolate the CMB contribution. However, recent observations indicate that foreground emission may be more complex than anticipated. We investigate how the increased spectral resolution provided by band splitting in Bolometric Interferometry (BI) through a technique called spectral imaging can help control the foreground contamination in the case of unaccounted Galactic dust frequency decorrelation along the line-of-sight. We focus on the next generation ground-based CMB experiment CMB-S4, and compare its anticipated sensitivities, frequency and sky coverage with a hypothetical version of the same experiment based on BI. We perform a Monte-Carlo analysis based on parametric component separation methods (FGBuster and Commander) and compute the likelihood on the recovered tensor-to-scalar ratio. The main result of this analysis is that spectral imaging allows us to detect systematic uncertainties on r from frequency decorrelation when this effect is not accounted for in component separation. Conversely, an imager would detect a biased value of r and would be unable to spot the presence of a systematic effect. We find a similar result in the reconstruction of the dust spectral index, where we show that with BI we can measure more precisely the dust spectral index also when frequency decorrelation is present. The in-band frequency resolution provided by BI allows us to identify dust LOS frequency decorrelation residuals where an imager of similar performance would fail. This opens the prospect to exploit this potential in the context of future CMB polarization experiments that will be challenged by complex foregrounds in their quest for B-modes detection., Comment: 13 Pages, 15 figures, 4 tables.

Abstract

Context. Astrophysical polarized foregrounds represent the most critical challenge in cosmic microwave background (CMB) B-mode experiments, requiring multifrequency observations to constrain astrophysical foregrounds and isolate the CMB signal. However, recent observations indicate that foreground emission may be more complex than anticipated. Not properly accounting for these complexities during component separation can lead to a bias in the recovered tensor-to-scalar ratio. Aims. In this paper we investigate how the increased spectral resolution provided by band-splitting in bolometric interferometry (BI) through a technique called spectral imaging can help control the foreground contamination in the case of an unaccounted-for Galactic dust frequency de-correlation along the line of sight (LOS). Methods. We focused on the next-generation ground-based CMB experiment CMB-S4 and compared its anticipated sensitivity, frequency, and sky coverage with a hypothetical version of the same experiment based on BI (CMB-S4/BI). We performed a Monte Carlo analysis based on parametric component separation methods (FGBuster and Commander) and computed the likelihood of the recovered tensor-to-scalar ratio, r. Results. The main result is that spectral imaging allows us to detect systematic uncertainties on r from frequency de-correlation when this effect is not accounted for in the component separation. Conversely, an imager such as CMB-S4 would detect a biased value of r and would be unable to spot the presence of a systematic effect. We find a similar result in the reconstruction of the dust spectral index, and we show that with BI we can more precisely measure the dust spectral index when frequency de-correlation is present and not accounted for in the component separation. Conclusions. The in-band frequency resolution provided by BI allows us to identify dust LOS frequency de-correlation residuals where an imager with a similar level of performance would fail.
