General
El objetivo general de este proyecto es determinar y estudiar las variaciones espaciales y espectrales en la temperatura del Fondo Cósmico de Microondas y en su Polarización en un amplio rango de escalas angulares que van desde pocos minutos de arco hasta varios grados. Las fluctuaciones primordiales en la densidad de materia, que dieron origen a las estructuras en la distribución de materia del Universo actual, debieron dejar una huella impresa en el Fondo de Microondas en forma de irregularidades en la distribución espacial de su temperatura. Experimentos pioneros como COBE (galardonados dos de sus investigadores principales con el Premio Nobel de Física en 2006) o Tenerife demostraron que el nivel de anisotropía en escalas angulares de varios grados está en torno a una parte en cien mil. La obtención de mapas del Fondo de Microondas en varias frecuencias y con sensibilidad suficiente para detectar estructuras a estos niveles es fundamental para obtener información sobre el espectro de potencias de las fluctuaciones primordiales en densidad, la existencia de un periodo inflacionario en el Universo muy temprano y la naturaleza de la materia y energía oscura. Más recientemente el satélite WMAP ha obtenido mapas del Fondo Cósmico de Microondas que han permitido establecer cotas sobre múltiples parámetros cosmológicos con precisiones mejores que el 10%.
El Proyecto concentra sus esfuerzos en realizar medidas a más alta resolución espacial y sensibilidad que las obtenidas por este satélite. En el pasado se utilizaron con este fin experimentos como Tenerife, el IAC-Bartol o el interferómetro JBO-IAC, todos ellos desde el Observatorio del Teide. Más recientemente, el experimento interferométrico Very Small Array a 33 GHz fue operativo entre 1999 y 2008. Durante este tiempo también realizó observaciones desde el observatorio del Teide el experimento COSMOSOMAS, cuyo objetivo era, además de la medida de las anisotropías del CMB, la caracterización de los contaminantes galácticos.
En los últimos 10 la actividad de este proyecto se ha centrado en la explotación científica de los datos del satélite Planck, y en la construcción, la operación y la explotación científica de los datos del experimento QUIJOTE. En la actualidad, una vez el proyecto Planck ha finalizado, la actividad se centra en la explotación científica de QUIJOTE, en el desarrollo y construcción de nueva instrumentación para el proyecto QUIJOTE, y en el desarrollo de nuevos experimentos que están siendo o que serán próximamente instalados en el Observatorio del Teide: GroundBIRD, LSPE-STRIP y TMS.

LiteBIRD science goals and forecasts: improving sensitivity to inflationary gravitational waves with multitracer delensingWe estimate the efficiency of mitigating the lensing B-mode polarization, the so-called delensing, for the LiteBIRD experiment with multiple external data sets of lensing-mass tracers. The current best bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio, r, is limited by lensing rather than Galactic foregrounds. Delensing will be a critical step to improveNamikawa, T. et al.

Impact of beam far side-lobe knowledge in the presence of foregrounds for LiteBIRDWe present a study of the impact of a beam far side-lobe lack of knowledge on the measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background B-mode signal at large scale. Beam far side-lobes induce a mismatch in the transfer function of Galactic foregrounds between the dipole and higher multipoles which degrads the performances of component separation methodsLeloup, C. et al.

Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: a new determination of the D/H ratio towards PKS1937-101Primordial abundances of light elements are sensitive to the physics of the early Universe and can directly constrain cosmological quantities, such as the baryon-to-photon ratio $\eta _{10}$, the baryon density, and the number of neutrino families. Deuterium is especially suited for these studies: its primordial abundance is sensitive andGuarneri, Francesco et al.

Pointing Calibration of GroundBIRD Telescope Using Moon Observation DataUnderstanding telescope pointing (i.e. line of sight) is important for observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and astronomical objects. The Moon is a candidate astronomical source for pointing calibration. Although the visible size of the Moon (30') is larger than that of the planets, we can frequently observe the Moon once a month with aSueno, Y. et al.

A magnified compact galaxy at redshift 9.51 with strong nebular emission linesUltraviolet light from early galaxies is thought to have ionized gas in the intergalactic medium. However, there are few observational constraints on this epoch because of the faintness of those galaxies and the redshift of their optical light into the infrared. We report the observation, in JWST imaging, of a distant galaxy that is magnified byWilliams, Hayley et al.

Evolution of the Mass-Metallicity Relation from Redshift z ≈ 8 to the Local UniverseA tight positive correlation between the stellar mass and the gas-phase metallicity of galaxies has been observed at low redshifts. The redshift evolution of this correlation can strongly constrain theories of galaxy evolution.
