INPA SEMINAR SPEAKER: Eve Vavagiakis ( Duke University)- Title: From ACT to Simons Observatory and CCAT: Upcoming observations of the millimeter and submillimeter sky
March 28 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Date: March 28, 2025
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Location: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person]
Speaker: Eve Vavagiakis (Duke University)
Title: From ACT to Simons Observatory and CCAT: Upcoming observations of the millimeter and submillimeter sky
Abstract: Rapid developments in instrumentation and highly sensitive superconducting detectors have provided a wealth of arcminute-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. These measurements are transforming our understanding of the evolution of our cosmos. I will contextualize recent results from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and discuss how our high-resolution CMB maps are at the frontier of Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect science. I will also summarize the design and status of the first light instruments and low-temperature detectors for the CCAT Observatory and discuss early science goals with the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope. Upcoming measurements of the millimeter and submillimeter sky with CCAT and the Simons Observatory will offer rich opportunities for cross-correlation studies and pave the way toward CMB-S4. This will enable novel multifrequency science in the coming years, testing cosmological models and opening new windows on galaxy evolution and fundamental physics.
